“Best dog sitting experience I have ever had. Not only did she provide attentive and loving care for my dog, but she also took him on outings to the beach, which he absolutely loved. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my pet were evident in every interaction. She kept me updated with photos and messages, ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Irina to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”
“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her 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.”
“Zac took great care of our Kirby for an evening. He has a wonderful place for pups, with plenty of space to run around. His dogs are friendly and adorable, and we will certainly book with him again.”
“Nancy walks Waylyn during when I’m at work and last minute was able to sit her for the weekend as well when my previous plans fell through. She sends such cute pictures and gives Waylyn a good long walk!”
“From Margaret’s regular photo updates, it is clear that Rosie was not merely a boarder, but having a great adventure, lavished w care, lots of activity and attention! Thank you for everything!”
“Barbara is a lifesaver! I had a last minute booking and she accommodated. She was very caring for my dog while he had an illness. She updated me everyday about Diego’s condition, I knew he was in good hands. She’s was very attentive with Diego’s schedule. Diego had a good time with her. Thank you Barbara for taking care of my loved one.”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Can’t say enough for Demitree. What an amazing host and caregiver to my dog Echo. He kept me informed and in the loop with what was going on with my pup! Kept me informed every step of the way. Echo loved spending time with him. The dog wasn’t just a guest she was part of his family while she was there. I’m DEFINITELY going to have my pup stay there again and is the only place she will be staying going forward. Can’t thank you enough Demitree!! Thank you!”
“It was Disco’s first time away from home and he seemed really happy staying at Alla’s. Alla did an amazing job with sharing updates (photos/videos) and was easy to reach. I highly recommend.”
“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”
“Kimberly took great care of our 6 month old puppy, Lila, and sent lots of photos and updates. Lila received lots of snuggles and walks and got to socialize with Kimberly’s dogs as well. I was very happy with Lila’s stay at Kimberley’s home.”
“Donghae (Ted) was an amazing sitter for our dog. He was responsive, caring, and very communicative. Ted also has a structured way of caring for your pet - as in he asks for details like allergies, preferences, and schedules. Overall, great experience and would 100% rebook.”
“Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!”
“I’m so happy to have found Kelly at the very last minute before my 3 day trip to look after my little Maltese doggy Maxwell. Kelly was very gentle and kind with Maxwell and sent regular pics and updates throughout the day 🙏 Maxwell seemed very relaxed and happy as he slept in the bed with Kelly and her boyfriend and he ate his food and I could tell he was happy 😊 I would definitely recommend Kelly and will use her in the future!”
“Bethanie and her husband were SO GREAT! I’ve used Rover a couple of times and have had sketchy situations happen in the past with my mini dachshund, so I was a bit concerned to trust someone again. Bethanie has RESTORED my faith in dog lovers. She treated him like he was her own and sent picture updates every couple of hours. (My dog was strait up chillin, no anxiety). Even her little dog named Mishi was sweet and welcoming to Ranger. She welcomed him with open paws. Thank you guys, I’ll seriously only be able to use your service from here on out✌?”
“Alex was great with Ivy! Ivy was so happy with him. He cared for her so well and even returned a toy we’d forgotten. Ivy was so happy to say hi to him again. Already trying to book Alex again!”

I felt at ease during my entire trip over the holidays knowing that my girls were well taken care of and anything out of the ordinary would be relayed asap. Nikki is super communicative and kind and I would absolutely book her again! Very glad to have found a wonderful & trustworthy new sitter, thank you so much Nikki!”

She seemed to have a good way with the cats; they are pretty shy but seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy the company. Traci was also pretty considerate about tidying up and provided thorough daily reports and lots of pictures and videos. Thank you, Traci!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets, and drop-ins are where I really shine. I show up, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time on larger projects, so the flexibility fits perfectly around drop-in visits. I can build your pet’s visits into my day without a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, and I’m happy to adjust timing to match their routine. For drop-ins, I do a full walkthrough of your home routine first so nothing feels unfamiliar to your pet. I follow your feeding, medication, and play instructions exactly as given, and I always double-check doors and gates are secure before I leave. Your pet’s comfort and safety in their own space is my top priority.
“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!”
“Irina and her family are just the best. Our cat Max loves going to visit her. We wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of him while we’re away. As always, Irina is very kind, professional, and communicative! She definitely takes the stress out of being away from our “baby”. Five stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“Bella did an amazing job taking care of my cat! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and luckily Bella was available and willing to help. We had an initial meetup where she asked a lot of good care questions and I explained how I feed him, where things are, vet contact info, etc. She made sure to send pictures and videos for each visit and provided an update summary. It was comforting and relieving to have someone who loves cats taking good care of my cat while I was out of town. I would highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for cat sitting and I hope I can book her the next time I go out of town. Thank you Bella! :)”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Starting with having a few dogs as pets growing up, I learned to care for them and train them. I then started working with dogs at a grooming salon. I was working as a bather for about 3 years before I acquired a position as a dog handler in a boarding facility where I learned how to do Obedience Training and I never let go of that specific field. I continue to work in Dog handling and provide care in several aspects of a dog’s health. I am able to provide baths, trim nails, administer Medications, and reinforce Good behavior through consistent training and mental stimulation. I love working with dogs and serving those who love dogs as well! I worked in Dog boarding facilities and grooming salons, and therefore have a lot of hands on experience caring for pups. While dogs are in my care, I am able to offer services like nail trimming and ear cleaning at the moment. I am hoping to add bathing services very soon. I typically take a lot of walks in my free time and would be happy to take your pup along with me. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always a priority. I take in small batches of dogs so that your dog has more individual attention instead of being in an overcrowded dog boarding facility. My wife is also home a lot, so you can be sure that your pup is never left alone. 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.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for dogs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pup in someone else’s care. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as an individual, taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my days with dogs. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and care routine so they can feel comfortable and settled while they’re with me. I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
“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: 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!
“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.”
“Charlie is awesome!! You can tell she really loves animals, and she treated our dog as her own. She sent several updates throughout the day, and communication was always easy with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I don't have much experience with pet sitting using the Rover app, but I do have experience with pet sitting for friends (dogs and cats). I have an 11-year-old dog and an 8-year-old daughter. The dog is our eldest child) I'm not working right now, I'm studying at college online, so I can be with yours pet all day. I have a lot of free time in the morning while my daughter is at school. Therefore, I can take care of your pets from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. I live in an apartment and have a friendly small dog. There is a dog walking area, as well as a small park next to the apartments.
“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!”
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: I grew up around lots of dogs, and I rescued my own pup 10 years ago from a non-profit here in Los Angeles. I've been the go to sitter for friends and colleagues over the years, experienced hosting for long weekends, work trips, etc. Animals often gravitate towards me, but we're more than happy to do a meet and greet if needed. I'm a work from home yogi, dog mama and animal lover, who loves to get her steps in, so pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I make sure to dedicate time each morning and evening for a proper walk, playtime throughout the day, and cuddles. I prioritize my dog's health and well-being by sticking to a consistent schedule for feeding, baths, regular vet visits, and immunizations. It's important to me to create a nurturing environment, and I always ensure that my clients needs are met, even during busy weeks. I live in a private residence and have a fenced in yard, and an adorable pup of my own to keep yours company during their stay. You are welcome to bring a crate if needed, as well as any other reasonable accommodations you'd need (extra walks, socialization, medication, etc).
“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!”
“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: 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.
“Vienna is super responsive and took great care of Neptune. He was so relaxed when we picked him up and seemed like he enjoyed his time at daycare! We’ll definitely book Vienna again!”
“Django is delighted to have made 3 new friends, Sandra, Alfonso and their cute and rambunctious dog, Baxter. He was welcomed into their home like an old friend. They provided him everything a dog needs for contentment: attention, affection, stimulation, and snacks! He was his usual apprehensive self when he arrived but within 20 minutes he was chilled out on the sofa. We're both looking forward to his next visit. One more thing: thanks for sharing, Baxter!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi there! 👋🏻 I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, and my love for them has only grown stronger into my adulthood. I have a passion for learning about and understanding all types of animals. My experience in pet care comes from caring for my own pets, helping family and friends, and volunteering over the years. Additionally, my mom owns a dog shelter where I’m constantly involved, and I also foster dogs from a local shelter 🐕 This passion has naturally evolved into my career as a pet sitter and dog walker, where I get to spend my days caring for animals and giving them the attention and love they deserve. I believe every pet has its own personality, and I love discovering what makes each one unique, building trust and a special bond with them. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a pet’s happy face after a long walk or a day of companionship I’m currently working remote and at home, which means I can take care of pups and cats anytime of the day. I have a very flexible schedule! I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs 🐶🤍 It would be my privilege and pleasure to uphold all safety, trust, and rules required by the owner for the well-being of their pet • Walks You’ll receive a map of our route, a report on your pet’s activities, a detailed summary of our time together, and lots of cute pictures.

“Javier is great! Having just moved to LA, it’s been a stressful transition for my pup, but Javier made it easy. He is reliable, keeps up open communication, and makes sure to send photos or videos of him spoiling My dog. Cusco is looking forward to his Boris for a while to come!”

“Our baby isn't used to being walked by anyone else - although he was stubborn about walking with Sean, Sean was great about keeping in text contact, giving him a bathroom break, and playing with him in the house. Thank you Sean for doing a great job with our large puppy!!!”
“Highly recommended! Rachel took care of our dog while. We were on vacation, and she did such an incredible job. She was reliable, timely, and flexible. We got pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated.”
“Dan is such an awesome help with our dog Guppy, he’s now our go-to walker! We’ve signed up for recurring weekly walks for our busiest weekday to supplement Gup’s exercise/potty needs since we feel so confident in his care with Dan! This past week Gup has had some tummy upset / anxiety flare ups and Dan was so understanding and accommodating. Dan understands Guppy has a strict diet and cannot take treats as well as him sometimes having trouble walking with new folks. He needed some encouragement to start the walk and Dan was sweet to gently carry him for a little while to help motivate him and took his tired cues in stride! Easy communication, timely arrival, great photos of our pup, and all his business checked off the list! Again, can’t recommend Dan enough for pet care :)”
“Ryan is wonderful! Before and during his visits, he was great about communication. He offered to have a meet-n-greet, before we booked, and he truly understands the needs of senior pets. We will definitely be working with Ryan for both of our pets, as long as he's in the biz!”
“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.”

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!
About: Hi, I'm Emma! Being surrounded by dogs of my own for most of my life, I learned to care for animals at a young age. I am open to being around all animals and have been a devoted cat owner for over a year now. Kittie is very loving and minds her own business when it comes to other animals around. I can relate to the experience of having to leave your pet for someone else to watch. Don't worry, you will get constant updates and photos! My apartment complex has a private dog park for residents and is less than five minutes from beautiful Echo Park, perfect for walks, exercise, and boarding! As a person, I am honest, reliable, and loving. I understand the importance of detail and will follow any routine that you usually follow. I am currently enrolled in college, so my availability would work around a fairly flexible schedule. It would fill my heart to take care of your pup when you aren't available and give them all of the love they need!

“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“Nancy walks Waylyn during when I’m at work and last minute was able to sit her for the weekend as well when my previous plans fell through. She sends such cute pictures and gives Waylyn a good long walk!”
“From Margaret’s regular photo updates, it is clear that Rosie was not merely a boarder, but having a great adventure, lavished w care, lots of activity and attention! Thank you for everything!”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to 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”
“Donghae (Ted) was an amazing sitter for our dog. He was responsive, caring, and very communicative. Ted also has a structured way of caring for your pet - as in he asks for details like allergies, preferences, and schedules. Overall, great experience and would 100% rebook.”
“Over the last few years, I’ve had family watch Sansa when I’m away and so I was nervous about trying to find another sitter. Ekaterina was very responsive and understanding of my concerns. She kept me updated with photos and a video which reassured me she was doing great and in good hands. She was also able to give Sansa her evening meds which can be difficult since Sansa will refuse it the first few tries. We will definitely be working with Ekaterina again the next time we need a sitter! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for someone who will take great care of your dog like their own.”
“Dion is a wonderful pet caretaker! He sitted my giant, elderly 95lb St. Weiler for three days with the utmost care! She was so happy when I came to pick her up like she had one of the best weekends. He too care to attend to her hip problems and everything! Dion is truly gifted with dog knowledge and care. The fact that he had a house with a big backyard for the dogs to play was a huge bonus in my opinion. I would highly recommend booking him as long as he is available.”
“Javier was such a great host. Since he does this full time, he really knows how to work with all types of dogs. He was very communicative and sent pictures and video updates. Hopefully he doesn’t plan to move as I think I found my forever dog sitter.”
“Alexa was able to watch my dog over the holiday weekend and I was extremely at ease with her professionalism, quick responses, and attention. I would definitely rebook in the future. Thank you Alexa!”
“Tetsu was incredible and took excellent care of my dog Kevin. He sent many lovely pictures of Kevin during his stay. Kevin got so much play time and had a lot of fun at Tetsu’s. I’d definitely let Kevin stay with him again. :)”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and affection. I’m responsible, attentive to their routines, and always take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or simply loves relaxing beside someone, I treat them with care and respect. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and never alone. I work from home as a musician and producer, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods of time. I can easily work around their feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines. I love having animals around while I work, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Because I work from home, your pet will have someone around for most of the day. I provide a calm and comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and receive attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries. Safety always comes first, and I keep a close eye on pets while they are in my care. I also understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their furry family member with someone they trust.
“This was Shimin’s third time watching Kuchára, and she’s consistently amazing. Her updates were just as thoughtful and regular as always, and it’s so clear she loves Kuchára as much as we do. We’re so grateful for the care and comfort she gives our girl every time. 🐶💛”
“Josie is amazing! My pup had a great time with her while I was away on vacation. I think he had a better time than I did! Josie is very responsive and sends daily updates with the best photos. I will definitely rebook with Josie again.”
“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic! Our dogs loved her and they came back happy as can be. Stephanie is a fantastic communicator and constantly sent pictures, which made us feel at ease while we were away from our pups. Highly recommend!”
“Great with my dog Austin, felt like I left him with family the way I got daily updates and occasional photos. I’m glad I found a home away from home for my soul dog”
“Our original sitter was impacted by the Eaton Canyon fire, which resulted in us scrambling to find another sitter. Our dog Mabel spends a lot of time with me since I work from home, so I was a little anxious about how she would do overnight with someone she didn’t know. At her previous sitters, she barked for the first two hours during a daycare trial. At Cynthia’s, she made fast friends with Yoshi and Mamba and made herself right at home. Cynthia sent photos and updates about Mabel’s play, sleep, and eating. Mabel received snuggles and so much attention from the whole family. She came back happy and without any transitional behavioral issues she had with her first sitter. Even though I work from home, I think sending Mabel in for daycare every now and then would be a great way for her to be social and play. She had so much fun and I know she’d love to come back. Cynthia lives up to the hype.”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“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!”
