“Another amazing boarding for my dog Eve. Irina is always so good with her and makes her feel so at home. I'm always at ease when I have to go away. Thanks once again!”
“Yulia went above and beyond, took such amazing care of my dog Annie. Sent lots of photos and it really showed how much love she gave my pup. Would recommend her to anyone and will almost certainly book again.”

“Christian was fantastic! I received daily updates with pictures and videos. I know my dog Bowie was in good hands and I will absolutely be bringing Bowie back again! Thanks Christian!!!”
“Bertha took such wonderful care of my nervous little pup. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. She is very kind and kept my baby as comfortable as possible while I was away. Thank you!”
“Margaret is absolutely wonderful! Our pup Riggy had the best time with her — she loved playing in Margaret’s big outdoor yard and came home so happy (and tired!). Margaret kept us updated with lots of adorable photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. As an extra sweet surprise, Riggy even came home with a new toy that she hasn’t put down since. 🐾💖 We can’t recommend Margaret enough — she truly goes above and beyond!”
About: With 10 years of professional experience caring for dogs, I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I began my career as a dog bather in a busy grooming salon before transitioning to a boarding and training facility, where I gained extensive hands-on experience handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and behaviors. My background includes administering medication, trimming nails, providing daily walks, and ensuring every dog receives the attention, structure, and care they deserve. This experience has given me the skills to confidently handle dogs and recognize their individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Your dog will be cared for in a loving home with two experienced dog handlers. While I work part-time during the day, my wife is home and also has professional experience handling dogs, so your pup is rarely ever left alone. Together, we provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and personalized care to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home throughout their stay. This increases our availability for boarding since there is always supervision. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always a priority. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. Inside, the home is equipped with both air conditioning and heating, ensuring your pup stays comfortable year-round, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly evening. I strive to provide a clean, safe, and relaxing environment where every dog feels right at home.
“Dan was fantastic with Nancy. I was nervous about her staying with other dogs but he is seasoned and has the feeding already worked out. She had a blast and came home happy. Will definitely book with Dan 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”
“Arlo just finished his third stay and he loved it! Hector & Brandon continue to be sweet, true dog loving sitters. They are communicative and hyper vigilant as they take care of your pet, ranging from traveling with Arlo in a car seat, to notifying me of any new itches and scratches and more. He will certainly be back!”
“I have had Cathy sit my anxious senior dog many times (as long as 2-weeks) and she has been great! My dog is so comfortable with her and seems to love being with her. Cathy is very attentive and sends updates many times a day. She is very responsive! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Alla was very nice with my dog, especially his first time. Was gone for a few days, but I felt very comfortable leaving Henry behind as she provided pictures and kept me up to date, I felt very relaxed”
“Lizel took great care of Lily when I was out of town. She kept me in the loop with how things were going, and was generally lovely to work with. Would book again!”
“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“Bianca did a great job watching our dog Greg. The communication was great throughout and there were lots of updates. I’m so glad our pups got along well and Greg was well taken care of.”
“Daria did a fantastic job with lupo! She was very gentle, patient, and understanding. Lupo tends to get a bit nervous with new people/environments but Daria did a great job making him feel comfortable and providing good care. She also is very responsive and communicates in a timely manner. Will for sure book her again!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Arlo! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, she was super communicative and regularly sent photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely spent quality time with him — including taking him out on runs, which he loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with Sydney again!”
“We received many pictures and videos of our pups during our short trip, and they seemed to be in great spirits when picking them up! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“David was AMAZING!!! 🤩 So responsive, flexible, & accommodating during the booking process. This was the first time we dropped our dog off overnight with a sitter. When we met David, we felt immediately at ease with him & knew our dog would be in good hands (& he was!). David was very calm & centering for Gus & gave us updates during the stay. He was very attentive, making sure Gus was comfortable & happy! Look forward to booking with David again in the future! Thanks so much! ❤️”

“My fur babies were very safe with Alicia, everytime I am out of town she always my go to person to look after them. She follows instructions and provide pictures and videos to update me daily on my babies. Giving her 5 star for an excellent service.”
About: I grew up with dogs, but my favorite musical of all time is CATS—It's fantastic (not the movie, the Broadway)! It's only fitting that the cat distribution system would bless me with my very own kitten, whom I found under my car engine as a one-day-old neonatal. I had no idea how to care for my cat-son, but I learned through YouTube videos, blog posts and catfluencers who helped me raise the sweet three-year-old I have today. My time spent at the LA County Shelter has also helped me gain knowledge and experience caring for cats of all ages.
“Jessica took incredible care of our fur babies. She followed instructions and the schedule to a T, and our girls were very happy and well taken care of when we came home. Cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind to know they were under her care while we were out of town. Definitely recommend and will. work with her again.”
“Alicia is amazing!! I trust her with my little girl, Darbie and I know she’s in great hands with Alicia. Always leaving detailed info on her visit and the cutest photos!”
“Amazing care from Traci during a weeklong trip with two energetic cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and played with them during their 1 hour visits. Lots of photos and videos of the cats having a great time, and she enjoyed getting to know them too. Very communicative with questions and updates. We are so lucky to have found her on our first time using Rover! Thank you Traci!!!”
About: Cats are just incredible. I guess you could say I’m pretty obsessed. Currently my two cats are great, however one has some health issues. As a result I have experience administering meds calmly and peacefully. As much as I cherish my own cats, it makes me happy to spend time with others, especially when their humans are gone and they might be feeling lonely.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 6 years and currently share my home with my black cat, Tiny, who quickly became part of our family and gets along wonderfully with our senior dog. Living with both cats and dogs has taught me how different every animal’s personality and needs can be. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll care for your cat with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Jessica is the best! Very professional, and took good care my baby while I was away for 2 weeks. She made sure to send pics and any little update because she knows I’m anxious leaving my cat for the first time. We absolutely loved her!”
“Jenna is always very patient with Nico and very detailed in the notes/updates that she leaves for us. She's very knowledgeable in dog behavior and takes great care of Nico whenever she visits. Thank you!”
“Fiona was great with our 13 year old cat who’s very cautious with strangers. She has calm and affectionate demeanor which any animal/human would love to be around.”
“Irina took fantastic care of my cat, James, while I was away! She provided consistent updates and adorable photos while looking after her. James is shy and tends to hide from new people but Irina made her comfy and relaxed. 🩵”

“Cecile did an amazing job watching my Dog Samson ! He can be handful sometimes with separation issues, so I appreciate a mindful and caring sitter. When I picked him up he was in great sprints and could tell he had a fun time with Cecile. I would highly recommend her with your cherished pets !”
“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.”
About: Hi! Welcome! I have been a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet, I would like to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now several times professionally on Rover, that it’s made me fall in love with dogs just as as cats! I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats! And they both have their own wonderful and amazing charms! 😁 I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or pet daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!
“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!”
“Irina met me right on time for dropoff and pickup, was extremely friendly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in excellent hands with her. I would totally leave my dogs with her again!”
“Eames is exhausted after a very fun day with Teresa and her family. Thank you for all of the updates and for taking such good care of him. We hope to see you guys soon!”
“Murphy was soooo excited when we showed up this morning!! He loves Heather and her dog! She takes wonderful care of my boy, plenty of pics and videos and great communication!”
“Chris and Edward were excellent! Great communication and friendly. Home is lovely and clean and in a nice neighborhood. I received regular updates and felt my dog was in good hands. I would definitely work with them again and would recommend to anyone looking for great pet sitters.”
About: About Me Hi there! I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with dogs for over 30 years. For the past 16 years, I’ve raised my own pups and for more than 13 years, I’ve fostered and volunteered at various animal shelters in Los Angeles and New York. Caring for dogs truly brings me joy — from playful puppies to gentle seniors (who hold a special place in my heart!). Your fur baby will be pampered, loved, and treated like part of the family. Whether they prefer a cozy nap or a game of fetch, they’ll have plenty of space to play or just relax in my home. I even have my own little hillside nature trail. 🥾🐾 I make sure every dog enjoys nice long walks, fun playtime, and of course, plenty of treats and affection. Does your pup love trails? So do I! Does your pup love going to the beach? So do I! Does your pup love to Netflix and chill? So do I! I also love to bake and prep special treats (all natural and seasoning free) - 100% customer satisfaction 🐶💗. My schedule is very flexible. Taking care of your pups is my priority. I can adapt to whatever your pup’s needs are - no problem! Your pup deserves it all! Lots of exposure to nature! Lots of spots to sunbathe! Lots of trails nearby (if they’re up for a hike). Or if they’re more of a lounger, they can have their pick of dog beds or couches. And of course… lots of love, treats and comfort! My home is completely fenced and gated with a large play area and turfed yard. My dogs are super dog friendly but if your pup needs his/her own space I can provide a separate area for them.
“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.”
“Em & Taylor took care of our 2.5 yr old husky boy so my wife and I could sneak out to a dinner party. They took him on a surprise hike and kept him busy- and kept us up to date on what was going on. Thanks so much!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I have always had pets in my home and understand the love, patience, and responsibility they need. My friends and family often trust me to help care for their pets when they are away. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide walks, visits, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s needs. I am responsible and will make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment. In a client’s home, I will follow the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, playtime, and care. In my home, I will make sure pets feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention. I always respect each pet’s personality and needs and make safety my priority.
“Khalani was awesome! Super quick to respond over text and sent photos throughout the day. Banksy seemed like he had a great time playing with her dog Buttercup. Would absolutely use her again in the future for daycare!”
About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.
About: I’ve both owned and sat for dozens and dozens of dogs over the years. I’ve been going to the Silverlake Dog Park for more than 30 years. I can board daytime and overnight and can work with you to make your pet's stay as enjoyable as possible. I’m mostly retired and am rarely away from home for more than 2 hours. I take pet sitting very seriously and treat my dog visitors like family. I have a fenced yard with gate closers. There is a pool available to dogs that enjoy it - but only if I’m supervising . I can do feedings and administer meds if required.
About: Both of my parents are veterinarians so I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and grew up on a farm! I am experienced with senior dogs and medication, and my halfblind terrier of 16 years had glaucoma and required eye medication 3x day. I am accustomed to working with dogs of different temperaments, from high separation anxiety dogs to dogs with food aggression or resource guarding. I currently have one dog Margot, a one year old Carolina dog who is very gentle and submissive and loves to be chased by other dogs. I work from home and am minimum walking 4 times a day. I also hike during the week if that’s something your dog is into! I’m knowledgeable about all things dog, and am attentive, safety-oriented and respond quickly to messages :) I work from home so your dog will be lucky to have an abundance of attention and care! They would be walked a minimum of 4 times a day and I also have a gated backyard. I never leave dogs unattended outside. I am obsessive about locking doors and making sure dogs are separated eating if there are food aggression issues. Dogs are never left unattended and I have a wealth of knowledge around medical issues since my parents are vets and I’ve had to administer medication for my own dogs and clients.
“the absolute best. I felt so comfortable leaving my son with her. She was always sending me photos and updates and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Would highly recommend!!”

“My dog is very nervous and particular. It's such a relief to know that I have found a walker she feels comfortable with!! I will definitely use Heather in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m Angelica, a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet sitter based in the LA/Glendale area. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I’m excited to be back on Rover and meeting and connecting with all fur friends! I currently work part time so pet sitting fits perfectly because it fulfills my afternoons and evenings with fun activities! Who wouldn’t love to dog/ cat sit! Caring for pets in someone else's home while dog sitting requires attentiveness, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Here are some key steps to ensure you provide excellent care: Learning about the pet Provide companionship Gather favorite toys Follow house rules Update the owners Monitor health

“I've had the privilege of using Ryan's service twice now and I plan to re-use him often. He's been very responsive and has followed directions extremely well. And this is with my topsy turvy schedule and high expectations. I love the sh*t out of my little canine buddy... and yeah... finding new people who are reliable, hopefully honest, and willing to earn trust between three of us is hard and is not a real fun experience. Ryan's been wonderful. Ryan being a part of our atwater village neighbourhood doesn't hurt either. Being close and familiar with streets and animal hospitals in case of emergencies and trails and stuff is so much of a relief. Zero complaints, only kudos, from my mutt. Still early in the relationship, but so far it feels like a better community just having him here. Updates if anything changes. I'm not expecting anything but for the better. cheers!”
“Javier rules. He’s walked my dog a ton and always does a great job. Good communication and very reliable (especially with my sporadic walking requests). Sends great pics and walk cards too!”
“Sean is great with our pup!! Always on time and responsive and has made her feel comfortable walking with someone else (even with her separation anxiety). Great job!!”
“Rachel was a fantastic with our new rescue dog, Winnie. Winnie is very shy and easily scared - Rachel understood all of her feelings and did the exact right things to get her comfortable. Winnie warmed up to her very fast!!! Rachel was also very communicative with us, which was so reassuring and helpful. Thank you Rachel!!! We are looking forward to booking her again.”
“Isabel is excellent! She’s punctual, is a great communicator, and is very natural with dogs. She observed a lot of things about my dogs temperament that I really appreciated . She has also done dog sitting in my home and is very trustworthy.”
“Dan is the best dog walker! He and our dog Guppy are in such a great groove for their weekly walks together! He is super easy to communicate with, gives our dog lots of love + encouragement, and we love to see the route + photos they take! Knowing Guppy is safe and getting awesome exercise when Dan takes care of him makes me so happy! Truly cannot recommend booking with Dan enough, plus giving weekly recurring walks a try - it’s an incredible experience! So worth every penny!”
“Chris was awesome! Our dog is high energy and he was great with her. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, sent pictures, and was loving with our pup.”
About: I grew up with dogs, and watching them grow from puppies into seniors has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Helping my pets transition from this life has given me the skills to administer medication and subcutaneous fluids, and deepened my knowledge of senior care, not just in pets but in people as well. Since moving to LA from NYC, I immediately started fostering with ACE of Hearts, caring for dogs (from puppies to seniors) until they found their forever homes. When I became busier with work, I shifted to volunteering at Downey Animal Care Center. I hope to always work with animals, and my dream is to open a shelter in Puerto Rico for the satos. I'm a writer, writer's assistant, script coordinator and writers' PA in Hollywood, but since the strike in 2023, there's been a significant contraction in the industry. Typically, I'd spend my time on hiatus writing and fostering dogs, but now that I have more time on my hands, I'm excited to shift my focus to animals on a more full-time basis. Since I do freelance from home, I'm almost always home and happy to spend it in good company—with your pet! I live in a pet-friendly building and have a cat who loves small and mid-sized dogs (the bigger ones take some warming up, but he always gets along with them if they're chill—see photos (he's the tuxy)). Since I work from home, I can give your pet my full attention, and I live in a very pet-friendly, walkable neighborhood with plenty of good sniffing spots. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior pets and can even train your dog to sit, paw, lie down, roll over and speak!
“Jessica was great! She has great communication and responded quickly. Chopper looked very happy on his walk. I will definitely book for future walks! Thank you.”
About: I love all animals and I have experience in lots of different animal care, including aquatics and exotics. I myself have two cats and a dog, and I have helped out folks with many different species, including husbandry. I’m so excited to meet your pet! Every morning my cat kids wake me up around 5:30/6am. The cats and I eat our breakfast together, Babygirl gets her meds, and then just spend the rest of the morning lounging and relaxing. When the senior dog wakes up, he gets his meds and breakfast and then it’s walk time!! Lunch time the cats each get a little churu treaty, and they spend some time playing before afternoon naps. They basically bounce back and forth from silly time to deep sleep for the rest of the day, then it’s dinner time, walkys for Kenji the dog and more playtime, then bed. Pets aren’t “spoiled,” they are cherished. Taking care of beautiful creatures that love us and make us their whole world is a gift. They deserve kindness, compassion, and respect. I love all animals as an extension of the love I hold for my own, and I can’t wait to meet yours and give them love and care.

About: With years of dedicated pet care experience, I've looked after a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and rabbits. My passion for pets is evident in the attention and love I provide, making sure each one is healthy and content. While I don't have pets presently, my routine eagerly anticipates their presence. I dedicate time each day to care, ensuring they're happy, active, and loved when they come my way. In both my home and my clients' homes, I make sure that safety, trust, and a pet-friendly environment are top priorities. For dogs, this includes secure fencing, leash-trained walks, and supervised playtime. Cats receive cozy, quiet spaces for relaxation and play. I adhere to feeding schedules, administer medication when necessary, and provide ample cuddles and exercise. It's all about making each pet feel comfortable and loved.
About: I have taken care of dogs about 4years. I like to watch them to play, and talk to them as communicating. To walk, feed and play with them, let me feel so warm and make my day. I have a big heart to take care of them. I stay home a lot and take care of my dog. I know each pet owners have different time, if our time could match, I would like to help and take care of your pets. I do have a big unfenced yard in front of my apartment. They can run and play inside the area. I also have a corgi girl, I believe she can be their friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining a structured schedule. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. In my home, I provide fresh water, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I stay home often, so pets are well supervised. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and keep their regular routine. I treat every pet with love, patience, and care, just like they are my own.
“Katherine was professional and a great communicator, and she was great with my puppy! I especially appreciate her taking the time to meet with us in advance. I’ll definitely use Katherine again in the future!”

“Margaret is absolutely wonderful! Our pup Riggy had the best time with her — she loved playing in Margaret’s big outdoor yard and came home so happy (and tired!). Margaret kept us updated with lots of adorable photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. As an extra sweet surprise, Riggy even came home with a new toy that she hasn’t put down since. 🐾💖 We can’t recommend Margaret enough — she truly goes above and beyond!”
“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”
“I have had Cathy sit my anxious senior dog many times (as long as 2-weeks) and she has been great! My dog is so comfortable with her and seems to love being with her. Cathy is very attentive and sends updates many times a day. She is very responsive! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lizel took great care of Lily when I was out of town. She kept me in the loop with how things were going, and was generally lovely to work with. Would book again!”
“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“Daria did a fantastic job with lupo! She was very gentle, patient, and understanding. Lupo tends to get a bit nervous with new people/environments but Daria did a great job making him feel comfortable and providing good care. She also is very responsive and communicates in a timely manner. Will for sure book her again!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Arlo! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, she was super communicative and regularly sent photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely spent quality time with him — including taking him out on runs, which he loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with Sydney again!”
“We received many pictures and videos of our pups during our short trip, and they seemed to be in great spirits when picking them up! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“Tetsu was extremely communicative the whole time Haruki stayed with him. He took care of Haruki like his own and took him on so many walks every day! He shared videos and pictures everyday to update me as well. I really appreciate him giving my dog a bone on Christmas as well! Overall, Tetsu is so amazing!!”
“Heather was fantastic. Rio who is high energy was very happy. I can tell from the pictures and messages we received from Heather regularly. Rio went on long hikes and park walks and felt just at home with Heather and Billie Jean. Thank you Heather!”
“Greg was amazing. He genuinely loves dogs💕. Was wonderful with our precocious 5 month basset hound. He updated me with pictures and status. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“Ece was positive, enthusiastic, and gave my dog, Raymond the attention he needs. She was great at keeping in touch during a long dog sit and responsive to all my concerns.”
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about Jack !! My 11 year old yorkie Kobe ABSOLUTELY LOVED Jack from the second he saw him. Jumped right into his arms ! I do not have children yet so Kobe runs our house and daily life which always makes me overly cautious when finding a sitter lol. I just moved to LA and am SO thankful we found Jack . He kept us updated with photos and texts . He let our spoiled one sleep in the bed with him too . Kobe can't wait to do another stay with Jack !”
“Josie is amazing! Kind, thoughtful and an animal lover. Phil had the best week in her home and he keeps dragging me to her house. Very grateful and can’t recommend Josie more highly! Look forward to next time already.”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful. We had to find a last minute rover when our original rover had to cancel. Angela came to the rescue: everything was seamless from the meet and greet to the drop off. Our flight was delayed so she even accommodated an extra night last minute. I would definitely leave Bruce with her again.”
“We were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest knowing that Kona was in great hands with Jeffery and his partner. She had a yard to run around in and her own bed to sleep on. We got constant photos and updates of her stay and she seemed very comfortable in their care”
