“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“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!!”
“It has been a tough journey finding care for my senior dogs now that they are too old for most pet resorts. Saeedeh was so caring with my old boys. I have a very nervous labrador, and she was so patient and sweet with him. My super senior boy also enjoyed his time in her care. I will definitely feel comfortable with Saeedeh caring for my dogs again.”
“Jocelyn did an exceptional job caring for Penny. She took care of Penny for 3 days and we couldn't be more happier. She updated us a number of times while our Penny was under her care and sent pictures and videos to keep us up to date. We will definitely book Penny with Jocelyn again.”
“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”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my dogs, Cookie and Cherry. Throughout the time they were with him, he sent me photos and updates, and my girls always looked so happy and comfortable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jonathan was attentive, responsible, and clearly very caring with them. I truly appreciate the great job he did, and I would definitely trust him again to look after Cookie and Cherry. Highly recommended!”
“Radhika is great! We boarded our anxious dog with her for four days and they had a wonderful time. She is very responsive and gives consistent and frequent updates. 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!”

“Annie was AWESOME!!! She did a Great Job. Luigi loved her! Annie is very conscientious, and professional! She is a great communicator. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care! I highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Muskaan! Sully was acting off on the day I brought him to her and she was very reassuring. She sent me plenty of daily updates with pictures and videos so that I knew Sully was doing well. He was walked twice a day and got lots of love. It was a great experience.”
“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.”
“Suman is a phenomenal sitter. She’s very responsive, sends plenty of photos and updates. My flight got delayed and had no issues accommodating and early drop off and a later pick-up. Turks and I will use her services again and again. Her daughter also took special care to give my baby love too!”
“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.”
“Patricia took excellent care of our puppy while we were away the week of Thanksgiving. She sent several videos and pictures and treated her like she was her own dog. We have a nervous dog and Patricia was so caring and made her feel comfortable. I would definitely use Patricia’s care in the future.”
“Lee was an attentive, thorough, and communicative sitter who was excellent in caring for my pup as she was recovering from surgery! She updated us with photos consistently and was able to keep Daisy on her schedule. We highly recommend her!”

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!
“Dorothy was quick to respond and came to visit Tin-Tin before his first check in - it was immediately clear she has a way with cats. She was on time to all check ins and sent lots of pics - highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Seren is a great cat sitter! She cares for my cat Mimi like she was one of her own. Mimi is an old gal with diabetes so she requires very specific care. Seren is always there at the exact time to give her the medication that keeps her diabetes well controlled. Seren also brings Mimi new toys and the orange catnip fish is now her favorite thing to play and nap with! On this trip my flight was delayed and I didn’t know if I was going to make it home that day. Seren is flexible and assured me she would be there to take care of Mimi no matter when I got back. That was a great relief for me.”
“Eve was absolutely amazing. She was so trustworthy and I felt so comfortable the entire time I was out of town. My cat was even a little difficult for her and she was able to manage him well. She went out of her way for us and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone and will be using again 100%”
“Kaitlyn took exceptional care of our special-needs Ragdoll while we were away. Our cat has asthma and requires multiple medications, including a nebulizer, an inhaler, and pills. Kaitlyn went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring he received all his treatments with care and patience. Not only is she extremely reliable and professional, but she also took great care of our home. When our kitty had a litter box accident and needed a bath, she handled it without hesitation—something not every pet sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she spent more time with him than we even asked, knowing that he doesn’t like to be alone. That extra care and attention meant so much to us. We returned home to a well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”
“We've trusted Nikki with our cat several times and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of him and sends the most amazing photos and videos, which make being away so much easier. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and feel very lucky to have found her.”
“Mackenna was so communicative, friendly, and took such great care of our boy. Just from pictures we could tell he obviously loves her, and we will definitely be repeat clients in the future!”
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.
“Katie is wonderful and very conscientious. She took care of our sweet cat while we were on a trip and we went into the trip with him not feeling the best. She was very careful with his feedings and played with him a lot and by the time we got back, he was doing so well. She played with him and brushed him and loved on him. Katie is confident and has a tremendous amount of experience. She cleans up well after your pets, which is so appreciated, so many pet sitters do not do that part and then you arrive home from your trip to a mess. We are very excited to have found her, and will definitely use her again, highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Amazing experience, came to town for a basketball tournament had a big change in plans and was able to book almost immediately… she was amazing with my high energy for, would highly recommend..!!! Super fast response Front yard Fenced backyard”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable dog lover offering a safe, loving home for your pup while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard for playtime, plenty of attention, and a calm home environment. Your dog will be treated like family, with love, supervision, walks, and lots of care.  I can provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your furry family members whenever needed. Majority of my weekends are open and I'm available during holidays. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard. Inside my home there are lots of chairs to cuddle up on for a snooze or some pets.
“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!”
“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.”
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. As for me caring for your pet in your home, that will largely be determined by your home and your dogs needs and wants!

“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.”
About: A home full of responsible homeschool kids that are ready to play, walk your dog and snuggle with them. We are excited to hose your pet on our large yard and home. I’m a stay-at-home mom who is often at home. My children are homeschooled so they are ready to pay attention to your dogs throughout the day. We have a large yard to throw a ball, and run around in. We have a large fenced in yard with real grass to play in and we live in a safe neighborhood. There’s a perfect loop to walk the dogs and never have to cross a busy street.
“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.
“We were just passing through town and needed someone to watch our husky, Akio, for the day while we went to an event. We found Chris based off of his 5 star reviews and are so glad we did. He is a very kind, genuine guy who loves dogs and as soon as we met him, we knew Akio would be in good hands. He was very thorough with questions to get to know Akio beforehand which helped us feel like he was well prepared and he sent several photo updates throughout her stay which was appreciated! We would definitely recommend Chris as a dog sitter and will be using him again if we’re back in the area :)”
About: Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog. Flexible. I live in a wonderful dog friendly community with lots of green space, and enjoy taking dogs for walks in nearby parks. I have plenty of time to play with you dog. Please Note: Doggy Day Care in my home is for 8 hours. Every dog has its own unique personality and needs. I am sensitive and flexible to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. By knowing their specific needs, I can tailor our outings to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for both of us.

“Taylor was wonderful with my St. Bernard, Penny! Penny is a big girl, but I had no concerns at all about Taylor’s ability to care for her and spoil her like I do. Taylor takes the time to find out exactly what you need for your pet. She is sweet and very trustworthy. I will certainly book Taylor again to care for my pup in the future!”

“Jacob has done a great job handling my two large, energetic pups. He went the extra mile by reaching out that they were running low on food and offered to help make sure they were taken care of.”
“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!”

“Alyssa took wonderful care of our puppy. We loved that she was comfortable walking, playing fetch and hanging out with our Teddy Bear. She bonded quickly with our puppy and helped our puppy while we were away at work.”
“BEST Dog Walker I’ve ever worked with- hands (paws) down! Ilana is organized and dependable. She got my little dog to trust and love her which in itself is a miracle. My neighbors told me how impressed they were that Ilana was walking the dogs without headphones to pay attention and steer clear of other dog interactions because they were new dogs for her. She’s caring, smart and also takes great pictures. We all love her and will continue to use her.”
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: 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.
“I can’t say enough great things about David! He is patient, reliable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. Our foster dog Lady is a very large, hyper terrier mix with little structure or social skills, and she can be overwhelming for most people. David has never been intimidated by her and always shows up with a smile, ready to give her the best care. Lady absolutely adores him — even when she gets overly excited and jumps all over him, he handles it like a total pro. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pets are in such loving, capable hands. We will absolutely continue using David for Lady and any future foster dogs!”

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.

“Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!”

“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“It has been a tough journey finding care for my senior dogs now that they are too old for most pet resorts. Saeedeh was so caring with my old boys. I have a very nervous labrador, and she was so patient and sweet with him. My super senior boy also enjoyed his time in her care. I will definitely feel comfortable with Saeedeh caring for my dogs again.”
“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”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my dogs, Cookie and Cherry. Throughout the time they were with him, he sent me photos and updates, and my girls always looked so happy and comfortable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jonathan was attentive, responsible, and clearly very caring with them. I truly appreciate the great job he did, and I would definitely trust him again to look after Cookie and Cherry. Highly recommended!”
“Radhika is great! We boarded our anxious dog with her for four days and they had a wonderful time. She is very responsive and gives consistent and frequent updates. 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 was an attentive, thorough, and communicative sitter who was excellent in caring for my pup as she was recovering from surgery! She updated us with photos consistently and was able to keep Daisy on her schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“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!!”
“We left our 8 year old golden with Hanna for 17 days, so I was pretty anxious to make the right decision choosing a carer for him. Hanna was very responsive to all my questions leading up to the stay, and then also when we were away we received regular feedback and photos. It was clear Astro was enjoying himself and we appreciated how he became a part of her family during his stay. On pickup Astro was very happy and looked so well. We would not hesitate to have him board with Hanna again.”
“Wen was really great with Stryder! He was clearly loved and cared for while I was away. She sent photos everyday and gave updates on how he was settling in. I was able to have a worry free trip knowing my pup was in good hands 😊🐾”
“Homeira is a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs were happy and peaceful when I picked them up and well cared for- clean and relaxed, with no signs of stress. Homeira is easy to communicate with and was accommodating to our needs and schedule. I highly recommend her services.”
“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.”
“Nick was great! Our pups were well taken care of while we were away and Nick sent us pictures and updates throughout their stay. We will definitely rebook with our next vacation. :)”
“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 💕”
