“We made a last-minute booking with Albina to care for our dog because our original sitter cancelled on us. She was very responsive and sent photo updates of our dog daily. I could tell that he was very loved. She even sent him home with some homemade dog treats! We were overall happy with our experience and will use Albina again.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Yulia asked very thoughtful questions in preparation to Stella’s stay, she was also very communicative throughout the stay sending me constant updates and pictures.”
“Fantastic pet sitter who took exceptional care of my cat! She sent plenty of photos throughout the stay and it was clear my cat was happy and comfortable. Very attentive and professional - would highly recommend Irina’s services to any pet owner.”
“Janice was amazing taking care of Poro! She has such calming energy and my velcro child took a liking to her and her family immediately. That alone put my heart at ease and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Couldn’t say enough positive things. Perfect sitter for my big boy who is dog aggressive/easily triggered. I had never left him alone before and honestly felt stuck. But the time came and I didn’t have a choice. He has dog sat Rex twice now. I'm grateful to have found a sitter like Greg who gave me peace of mind knowing my big boy was in good hands. Rex was excited to see him which let me know he was being good to my boy. Thanks Greg!”
“Tamar watched our French bulldog, Kuma, for a week and did a phenomenal job! She made sure he was comfortable in her home and sent us tons of adorable photos every day, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Kuma and treated him like her own. She even made sure all of his belongings were cleaned, washed, and returned in perfect condition. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will definitely book with her again in the future! 🐶✨💕”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)
“Biscuit had an amazing time here. It was like a second home. Angelica was amazing with communication and updates. Will definitely use her in the future for all biscuit care!”
“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
“Margaret was great with our high energy pup. She was very attentive and kept him entertained with long walks and play dates around the neighborhood, keeping us up-to-date throughout his stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“Magdalena is an amazing sitter. She was so easy to work with especially after I made a mistake in my booking. She was so kind to me and great with my dog Ronda. Lots of pics and videos. She’s very good with dogs!”
“Cathy is very communicative. She’ll send pictures of your fur baby along the way. In addition, she’s very accommodating to even the “hardest cat” to watch (one that is un-neutered currently). Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia was amazing! This was my first time boarding our pup Barbour for a week and he clearly had a great time. Barbour had lots of friends to play with and Cynthia sent lots of photos and updates so I always knew how he was doing. He seemed to have so much fun I felt bad taking him home at the end! Would highly recommend Cynthia and I’d gladly book with her again.”
“Bethanie was the greatest! ! She took time to get to know Waffles in our meet-and-greet and made his 2 night stay a very happy one. Bethanie was very responsive and sent photos and comments during his stay. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was so well cared for and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home away from home for their dog!”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”

“I cannot recommend Alina enough. I am a first time cat mama, and this was my first time leaving her for a long vacation. By the end of the first visit, I knew Luna was in great hands and that she would be well taken care of while I was away. Alina was fantastic with providing detailed updates, and also provided plenty of photos of her time with Luna. I will definitely be rebooking with Alina whenever I am away.”
“Might as well also be a goat sitter because she's the GOAT cat sitter. We've used her many times and she's always a rock star. Very thorough and thoughtful messages and tons of photos of the babies. Our one day had a cone this time and she was very good about that.”
“Mica was awesome! She took amazing care of Bernie and sent regular updates. When I came back he was very sweet and calm, a sign he'd had a great time. I had to make a few changes to the booking and she was very patient, responsive, and accommodating. A great and seamless experience- highly recommend.”
“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I’ve also cared for cats for friends and neighbors over the years. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable while you’re away
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats. I currently have a cat and have had cats in my home for many years. I understand their needs, personalities, habits, and daily routines. My friends and family often trust me to help care for their cats when they are away. I enjoy feeding, playing with, and spending time with cats. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Brandi was amazing!! She watched over my three kitties for the weekend. This was my first time using Rover and she was so helpful. Very communicative, and was even able to get my skittish cats to come out and say hi!”
About: I have been around cats since I was 5y/o however it's been a different experience every time with each cat. I know they have their own personalities and I never impose myself on them and I just wait until I see how comfortable they are around me. I love them and their independence. But I do appreciate when they are affectionate because you really can't get enough. They are healing creatures to me.
“Sorn was amazing!!! She took such wonderful care of our two cats and made sure everything was taken care of. She went above and beyond to understand their needs, was so communicative, sent us tons of photos (which were also beautiful!) and was always on time to visit. Litter box, food, etc were all perfect and on top of that she won the cats over and they trusted her within a day or two. And she is just a lovely person. We will be booking her whenever we can when we go out of town. Thank you so much Sorn!”
“I always feel confident leaving my senior diabetic cat in Tamar’s care. She administers his insulin without issue, makes sure he eats and is cared for while I’m gone. He loves her too ❤️10/10 recommend Tamar!!”
“First time Rover user here and Eliana helped me with the app and put me at ease when taking care of my cat. She was very communicative, took great photos and left adorable notes that I looked forward to everyday. Will absolutely book again”
“Sara was a fantastic caregiver for our elderly cat and we would recommend her to anyone! She is extremely communicative, and respectful of our cat's needs. She went above and beyond and asked where a broom & dustpan were while we were away because Becky can be sloppy with her litter. Sara proactively clarified Becky's insulin needs to make sure she would be giving her the right amount amidst some changes in her insulin regimen. We look forward to when we can book Sara again!”
“Another great visit with Alex. We were away for about a week and came back to an apartment that looked like we never left. I genuinely don’t know how he does it. The cats were happy and relaxed, honestly like they didn’t miss us at all, which says everything. He stayed on top of all the feeding instructions we left, which we really appreciated, and made sure everything was handled exactly as requested. He also kept us posted on little things around the apartment, including the Roomba, making sure it was emptied, reset, and charging so it could keep running while we were gone. That level of attention makes a big difference. We always feel at ease leaving our home and pets with Alex. Really grateful for him and all the care he puts into it.”
“Booked with Bella a second time! She was familiar with my cat’s care instructions from last time and followed them perfectly. My cat was happy to have someone he’s familiar with come back :)”
About: I was born into a household with five cats. Of those, my childhood cat, Fifi, was my best friend growing up. When I was 17, my best friend gifted me a kitten as a secret santa gift, I named him shmoopy, and he is my angel <3
About: I’m a full time foster mom and have fostered cats from 10 days to adults. I’m also considered the “cat expert” at the vet I work at and have been able to handle fractious cats and know how to work with shy, hesitant, and feral kitties. I know how to give fluids, injections, medication and draw blood.
“Kitties loved her and she was sure to communicate every day! It was a relief to know someone was checking in while I was away. I’d have her care for my cats again for sure.”

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”

About: Last year I said goodbye to my 17 year-old dog Max, just a few months after my cat Scotty passed away suddenly from kidney disease. Thankfully, Scotty's sister Star is still with me and thriving, but I really miss being around and caring for other animals. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and the gentle care they require. I'm also very familiar with younger dogs of all sizes. And I've fostered a lot of cats - mainly kittens - which is how Star and Scotty originally came into my life. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet - whether it be walks, drop-ins, boarding or pet-sitting. I work part-time, teaching improv and also teach at an academy for gifted and neurodivergent homeschool students. The classes are short and nearby (and are not every day) so I'm never gone for more than 2-4 hours. Which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your pet! I'm available for home visits, walks throughout the day, boarding, and/or pet sitting any day of the week. I live in a residential neighborhood in the Somerset section of Glendale, perfect for walks. My apartment is a large one-bedroom I share with my cat Star, who is very affectionate and easy-going - she'd love to keep your pet company!
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
About: I’ve always had pets at home, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet with the same care and love I give my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give pets the time and attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable by following their routine, keeping a clean space, and giving them gentle, attentive care with love and respect.
“Isabel took a great care of my dog while we were at the Rose Bowl game. She’s great with communication and was very quick in responding for drop off and pick up. Will definitely use her again next time we visit SoCal.”
“Erika was awesome and took great care of my pups. From the start you knew she was a dog person and loved on my two the whole time she was under her care. Mine aren’t easy either and she handled business and was professional all around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter highly recommended!”
About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.
About: I can walk dogs, I have an apartment with no pets for boarding, have lots of experience with cats and the gentleness they require. I love animals and I’m very respectful of space for drop ins. I work from home so as long as your pet can cowork with me, weekdays are open! Besides that, evenings for walking/overnights and weekends will work. I have an apartment with no other pets, can walk them, feed them and play with them. Would spoil them by choice as an animal lover! <3
“Awesome spur of the moment stay. Daria’s can-do attitude and multiple photos throughout the visit allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. We will look no farther for the perfect petsitter the next time we visit Glendale…we found Daria!!! Many thanks from Chula Cholula’s family 💗”
“Frances was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little worried leaving my fur baby since it’s his first time with a sitter, and he was a lil anxious when we dropped him off but had a great time with Frances. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and the picture qualities were also amazing! My puppy looked so happy and comfortable! He came home pooped and I’m so happy he got along with Frances and her boys! I will definitely use Frances again next time I need a sitter!”
“Elena was present at drop off and receptive to all Rain’s needs. I can tell Rain enjoyed her time, and for a rescue who is loyal and sweet, that is the absolute best.”
“Magdalena is very good with dogs and has a cozy, comfortable yard and home for them to enjoy themselves in. I really appreciate her communication as well. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for ten years because I love animals! I’m very active, love to hike with dogs, and also am creating music when at home which they tend to love if they’re with me :) I am a part time sitter and am available on some holidays which has been helpful for clients in recent years. Pet sitting fits in to an ever changing and flexible schedule. I am currently at a pet friendly and peaceful residence on a quiet street. I also pet sit for neighbors in my immediate neighborhood within a 3 mile radius.

“We are so grateful to have found Alina! She walked our two dogs and sent really wonderful photos and updates. Alina is very trustworthy. Will definitely book her again!”
“Lilit was flexible adapting walks/playtime based on Ferdi's sensitivity to the heat wave. This was very much appreciated 👏 and really shows how attentive Lilit is to my puppy's needs. Thank you!!”
“Michael was very easy to work with, seemed very personable, and most importantly- libby appears to have enjoyed his company 😊 Michael was very professional - communicating with me beforehand to see if libby had any special needs or preferences. He arrived a couple of minutes early and they went on an hour walk. I would definitely use Michael’s services again.”
“Brandi is the best! She takes such good care of our girls. Always going slow, taking breaks when it’s hot, and watching out for our older one. She is super flexible and always kind about our chaotic schedule. Definitely recommend! Thanks Brandi!”
About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following of repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. We can board up to two dogs at one time, but they must be from the same family home. I am a successful small business owner and I work out of my home. I live within convenient probity proximity to downtown Glendale and the 134 freeway. Each visiting dog may arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. If requested, we're happy to send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.

“So grateful to Eliana for being able to take on the job so last minute and perfectly follow the care instructions for my boys without needing the meet and greet. The dogs loved her and I could 100% trust her with my apartment. Despite the challenges my dogs can put someone new through, she handled it all with great professionalism and experience!”
About: I’ve had my anxious baby boy black cat since he was a little foster kitten in 2020. I also grew up with a crazy maltipoo, birds, turtles, and more, so I’m very comfortable caring for all types and personalities! I’m currently working part time as a nanny for human babies, so I have plenty of odd hours to help with your fur babies too! I’m happy to follow any safety and care instructions you have. I can play with more social animals or be gentle and quiet with more anxious pets.
About: If you need dog day care trust in me. I have experience for 19 years . love animals but dogs are just more special to me. I love playing with them , walking with them , giving them a bath and training them . My kids love dogs so your dogs will have the chance to play and love them as well. I have 2 years professional groomer . Thank you to Rover who emails recipes for food, cakes, ice cream so that people who are interested can make them and I will try to make them. Im full time working with dogs . I play with balls and smart games . Going park walking or running . I would like to learn more about them . In order to play safely, if the dogs are friendly, I let them play with each other. If not, I have a gate and a play pan to separate them from each other so that they don't hurt each other.
“Pia is so wonderful! She was super responsive on a last minute request, asked all the right questions, and clearly understands and loves dogs. I haven’t needed a dog walker in at least 5 years so I was a bit nervous to start up again, but I’m so glad I found Pia! Would trust and recommend her to any dog parent :)”
“Our dog Bennie loves his walks with Emin. Emin is very chill, easy going and friendly. He gets the job done and is very reliable. This is our second booking with Emin and we will 100% use him again.”
About: I have always connected with animals, but it wasn’t until I adopted my dog Chica that I truly understood the special bond between a person and their pet. Living with a dog who experiences separation anxiety changed the way I see pet care. I know how difficult it can feel to leave your dog when you are worried they may feel stressed, lonely, or unsure without you. Because I spend a lot of time at home, I wanted to create a place where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. My goal is not just to provide a place for a dog to stay, but to make them feel welcomed, understood, and part of a peaceful home. My dog Chica is an important part of my home environment. She is a small senior female who is very comfortable sharing her space with other animals. She has stayed with many dogs and cats in different homes, as well as welcomed them into ours. When meeting new dogs, she usually either politely sniffs and settles in or simply gives them their own space. Her calm personality helps create a relaxed environment, especially for dogs who prefer a quieter experience. Because Chica is part of my home, I also want to make sure every dog who stays with us is comfortable sharing space with another dog. I welcome dogs who can respect her boundaries and settle into a calm home environment. Before each stay, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, and needs so we can make sure it is a safe and positive experience for everyone. I have experience caring for dogs with different needs, including anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who need oral medications. I believe every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what helps each dog feel secure and comfortable. I offer one-on-one boarding and daycare in my quiet first-floor apartment, where I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to give each dog my full attention and avoid the stress of a crowded environment. My priority is making sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and like they belong. I want them to have companionship, a familiar routine, and someone paying attention to the little things that make them feel at home. I will also send regular photo updates so you can stay connected and feel reassured while you are away. Before booking, I always like to make sure each dog’s personality and needs are a good match for my home environment. If you feel it would help, I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so your dog can become familiar with me, Chica, and the space before their stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already organize my days around my own dog, Chica. Since she has separation anxiety, we make sure someone is always with her, which means guest dogs also benefit from having companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention and adapt to their routine whenever possible. If I ever anticipate being away for a short period, I will always discuss it with you beforehand so we can make sure it works for your dog's needs. I live in a quiet first-floor apartment with a small fenced patio. For safety, any time spent outside on the patio is always supervised, and dogs are kept on a leash unless we've agreed otherwise. If you prefer that your dog doesn't use the patio, I'm happy to follow your preferences. I tailor each dog's routine to their individual needs. Whether that means quiet walks, extra potty breaks, or more time to explore, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys getting out, I can also take them to nearby parks, and I regularly enjoy spending time in nature with my own dog. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while they're with me. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos, and make sure both your dog and Chica are comfortable throughout the stay.

About: I’ve been fortunate to grow up with animals most of my life and lucky enough to continue having little fur companions in the home through roommates. I’m proud to say I’m my friend’s go to for pet sitting (+ house sitting) while they’re away in long trips as I love to play, cuddle, and take care of their little ones as if they were my own. I enjoy taking my family’s dogs for long walks whenever I visit and cuddling with the cat if she’s gracious enough to give me attention.

I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Couldn’t say enough positive things. Perfect sitter for my big boy who is dog aggressive/easily triggered. I had never left him alone before and honestly felt stuck. But the time came and I didn’t have a choice. He has dog sat Rex twice now. I'm grateful to have found a sitter like Greg who gave me peace of mind knowing my big boy was in good hands. Rex was excited to see him which let me know he was being good to my boy. Thanks Greg!”
“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
“Margaret was great with our high energy pup. She was very attentive and kept him entertained with long walks and play dates around the neighborhood, keeping us up-to-date throughout his stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Cathy is very communicative. She’ll send pictures of your fur baby along the way. In addition, she’s very accommodating to even the “hardest cat” to watch (one that is un-neutered currently). Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia was amazing! This was my first time boarding our pup Barbour for a week and he clearly had a great time. Barbour had lots of friends to play with and Cynthia sent lots of photos and updates so I always knew how he was doing. He seemed to have so much fun I felt bad taking him home at the end! Would highly recommend Cynthia and I’d gladly book with her again.”
“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””
“Therese took great care of my pups Barry and Bella. She sent frequent updates and it looked like the dogs were having a great time. Will definitely request to book her again next time!”
“Julie and her mom were so sweet! They took really good care of my one senior dog and one adult dog. We had specific instructions for the senior dog and she did really well following them.”
“This was Arnie's first time boarding with a sitter, and he had a wonderful time with Loretta. He made a new best friend with another dog, and had such a good time that he didn't seem to miss us that much (I think he enjoyed his vacation!) Loretta shared pictures and commentary with us so we always felt in touch with Arnie. I was most impressed with her flexibility - our travel plans changed unexpectedly, and we needed to have Arnie stay with Loretta an additional day. She was very accommodating, and everything went smoothly. Loretta is very responsive to messages and obviously loves dogs! I would highly recommend!”
“My dog loved his stay with Alexa! Alexa sent daily photos and was very communicative. She was also flexible when we had to change our pick up time at last minute. Would definitely book again!”
“Victoria is such an amazing sitter! She sent so many adorable videos and photos of Oz and her dog (Bella) having the best time together. It was truly a relief to know my pup was in such great hands with her and her husband. Thank you so much!! :)”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them again.”
“This was my first time leaving my Noodle, my 2 year old Goldendoodle, with a dog sitter. I was a bit nervous but Sevan made the experience wonderful! He has a large space with a backhouse where the dogs stay inside when it's hot outside. Noodle stayed for 2 nights. Sevan sent updates, photos, and videos multiple times per day. Sevan made us feel at ease. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dog safety and wellbeing. Highly recommend!”
“Miry was great! She took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town for a few days and made me feel at ease with someone else watching her. My dog loved being there and could tell she felt very comfortable. Would happily have her watch my dog again!”
“There are not enough characters to put into words about what an amazing boarding experience I had with Yvonne. She offered a worry free care filled boarding experience for my dog. From the initial meet and greet and her interaction with Isabella, I knew I was dealing with a professional who loves dogs and provides attention to detail in every aspect of care. Her daily photos and updates bridged the distance while I was away. I am a bit reluctant to share this, as I want her all to myself but she is truly a gem”
