“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Temi was amazing with our dog! We got updates all the time and it felt like Maui was on vacation with her sitter while we were away. She took her to the park, on walks, and to the beach! Will definitely be rebooking with Temi in the future.”
“Annie is amazing! She takes great care of our pup and was super flexible with pickup time when we got trapped in traffic traveling back from Mammoth. So happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of our doggo when we need it! Additionally, her daily updates and pictures are so awesome - made me feel comfortable about our pup being away from us.”
“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Now, what do you do if you find out you need to evacuate your home for eight hours with a day's notice? I don't think most people plan for situations like this, and we tend to scramble for solutions when life introduces surprises like these smack dab in the middle of a normal week. I have two kittens that needed a place to stay while my apartment was suddenly worked on, and unsurprisingly, I had no idea where to start. It's not like I had much time either— only a handful of hours to plan something out. Thankfully, I stumbled onto Rover and eventually came across Jennie and Bennie. They responded to my inquiry within minutes and quickly scheduled an appointment for me to check out their cat suite the following evening. It was the best response time I've received from any service in recent history. The cat suite itself was incredibly impressive. Jennie and Bennie know exactly how to cater to cats of all types, from the overly sociable to those who prefer to keep to themselves. It didn't take long after meeting them I knew my kittens would be under great care here. Throughout the short stay, Jennie and Bennie provided me with pictures and videos of the kittens as they explored their new temporary home. There wasn't any reason to worry about how the kittens were adjusting because they sent me constant updates during the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jennie and Bennie are amazing people who know exactly how to care for cats. They've created a fantastic area for our feline friends, and I'd definitely book with them again.”
“We are very grateful for how Megan took care of our 7 year old Golden while we were away, sending pictures and updates everyday. Megan is a great communicator, very caring and truly loves dogs. We will love to have Jingle stay with her in the future and we highly recommend Megan!”
“Junping watched our 14 year old Boston Terrier for three days and she was amazing! She sent many pictures and videos and made sure he was walked plenty. I can say that we have found our new “go to” dog sitter for when we leave town. Thank you very much!!”

“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”
“Lorelle was super responsive and took great care of our dogs. We got daily pictures of them having fun and knew they were in great hands while we were away. Thanks again!”
“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“Rommel and his family were exceptional sitters to Stormy. He was immediately responsive, sent updated photos throughout the week, and catered to my older dog’s dietary needs. 10/10 recommend”
“Mika-san went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She sent us updates and photos daily and took him out for a walk everyday and we could tell our dog was super comfortable in her home. Our dog enjoyed playtime with her sons too. Would definitely want to book with Mika-san again!”
“Rohan did a great job at looking after my 2 year old aussie, Beau! Beau gets anxious around people on walks and Rohan did a great job at following my care instructions to make sure that my dog was safe and managed his anxiety well. I’m glad I was able to trust Rohan to create a comfortable environment for my dog!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”

“Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱”
“Jacqueline was so great with my cat, Olive! She sent pictures and videos of Olive every time she visited and even included updates on her mood. Olive was very happy with Jacqueline dropping in and it made me feel so much better knowing that Olive got some interaction and play while I was out of town. Jacqueline was very communicative, respectful of my space, and even brought in some of my packages. Highly recommend - will likely book Jacqueline again!”
“I don’t even remember how many times Seungyeon has helped me out. She now is the only one I trust when it comes to taking care of my cats. She just got this greasy energy that makes both human and animal love her and I’m afraid my Zoey loves seeing her almost as much as seeing me!”
“Yu was absolutely amazing! We were away for 10 days (the longest we’ve ever been away from our fur babies), and she took such wonderful care of our girls. From the start, Yu was incredibly communicative and asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cared about understanding our girls and their routines which really helped us feel confident and comfortable leaving them for that long. Each day she sent detailed Rover Cards along with 15–20 photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. It was clear our girls were happy, loved, and well taken care of the entire time. We’ve had our fair share of Rover sitters over the years, but Yu has truly been the best we’ve ever had. She will absolutely be our Rover again moving forward. ❤️”

“Regi took wonderful care of my two cats and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I also really appreciated how thoughtfully she looked after things around the house. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I had left it when I returned. Thank you for taking such great care of my little ones! ❤️.”
“We are so grateful to Corey for taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Corey gave us detailed visit notes each day and pictures which helped us know they were taken care of and safe. She even took the time to let my scaredy-cats smell her and get acquainted. She is communicative and comes on time to the scheduled times. Thank you, Corey!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Yary! 💖 She boarded my two cats, Kishy and Kulfi, for three weeks while I was on vacation, and from day one she went above and beyond in every possible way. Yary sent the most thoughtful, thorough, and consistent updates. Photos, videos, and detailed messages that truly put my mind at ease. 🥹🐱 She made sure both cats were well fed, well loved, and kept completely on their normal routine, which meant so much to me while being away for so long. Kishy is my more anxious cat, and on the first day he wasn’t eating much and preferred staying in his carrier. Yary was incredibly patient and attentive. She didn’t just let him sit there, but gently helped him acclimate to her apartment at his own pace. She was so mindful of his eating, drinking, and bathroom habits, keeping a close eye on everything and updating me along the way. It was clear she truly understands cats and respects their individual personalities. 🐾💙 Kulfi, of course, settled right in and lived her best life 😹 and honestly, by the end of the stay, both cats loved Yary so much that we were joking they might love her more than they love us LOL 🤣 On top of being an amazing sitter, Yary is just an incredibly sweet and kind person, and her fiancé was also so wonderful and caring with the cats. It genuinely felt like Kishy and Kulfi were staying with family rather than being boarded. I would 1000% recommend Yary to anyone and everyone looking for the most loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. She did an absolutely perfect job, and I would trust her with my cats again in a heartbeat. 🥰🐱🐱 Thank you, Yary, for taking such amazing care of my babies! 💕✨”
“She did such a great job with our two dogs. The home visit went well and the dogs were very happy when we got home after her first visit. Looking forward to her next drop in!”

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m someone animals have always gravitated toward—and honestly, the feeling has always been mutual. Friends, family, and neighbors have long trusted me as their go-to person when they needed someone reliable, gentle, and attentive to care for their pets. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, administering medications, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I’ve been the one they called—because they knew their pets would be safe, understood, and genuinely loved. I may be new to the Rover app, but I am absolutely not new to caring for animals. 🐶💛 My Pet Care Experience I believe great pet care goes beyond food and walks—it’s about understanding each pet’s personality, emotional needs, and routine. I take the time to: Read body language Respect boundaries Build trust at each pet’s pace I’m calm, patient, and intuitive, which helps me connect especially well with: Shy or anxious pets Senior pets who need extra gentleness High-energy pets who thrive with structure and engagement Your pet won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for as if they were my own. What Sets Me Apart 💛 ✅ Comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments ✅ Calm and patient with nervous, reactive, or high-energy pets ✅ Emotion-first approach focused on both physical care and emotional well-being ✅ Reliable and communicative — you’ll always know how your pet is doing Why Pet Parents Choose Me If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, notices the little things, and genuinely loves what they do—you’ve found the right person. 🐾💕 I work from home and have weekends off, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention and keep an eye on them throughout the day.

“Miss Kk has been the absolute best dog walker for my 15lb dachshund mix for the past few months, 3x a week. We are in the area for work and staying at a hotel and she adjusted so well to the hotel life and the hotel staff absolutely love her and so does my pup. She is so reliable and has never cancelled on me ever. She is so sweet and I highly recommend using her for any and all services.”
About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!
“Tanya did a great job on her first walk with Ava....even after her car breaking down on the freeway that day. She made it on time and kept in constant contact with me giving me piece of mind since we were out of town for the day. We will defiantly have Tanya back for walks and I booked an overnight stay next month for Ava at her place, so much better than having to board her! Thank you so much Tanya!!”
About: If your dog has energy to burn, they’ll fit right in with me. I’m an active runner and hiker based in Irvine near the Spectrum, and I love having a copilot for outdoor adventures. Whether your pup needs a brisk morning walk, games of fetch at the park, or trail exploring on weekends, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. This is the only job I have at the moment so my schedule is pretty flexible and can accommodate to your preferred schedule when need be. I am flexible regarding what environment you would want me to take care of your pets. I know some walking trails and dog parks within the area.
“Pauline responded to my dog walking inquiry and to all messages quickly. She proactively offered to reach out to Rover when my initial care instructions weren’t visible on my dog’s profile. She came on time, walked my dog for a full 30 minutes, gave her some treats, wiped the paws as requested, and locked the door. Her description of the walk was thorough. The only improvement would have been to leave on one of the down stair lights after leaving as requested in the care instructions.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life — both dogs and cats have always been part of my home. Friends and family naturally trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. What sets me apart is how much I love being active outdoors. I’m always exploring dog-friendly neighborhoods, trails, parks, and even going on weekend hikes or camping trips. I truly enjoy sharing those moments with dogs, letting them explore new scents, sights, and environments in a safe and joyful way. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle day or an energetic outdoor adventure, I adjust to each pet’s needs and personality — and I treat them like my own. Pet care fits really well into my routine! I work from home and usually finish my work by early afternoon on weekdays, so I’m free most days after 2 PM. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. Weekends are even more flexible — I’m almost always available and love spending time outdoors, which means your pet will get lots of attention and fresh air! I live in a gated apartment that requires a keypad entry, so it’s very secure and safe for pets. I also share my home with a very friendly beagle who gets along well with other dogs and loves having company! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and part of the family — with lots of love, playtime, and a calm environment. I follow their routine closely, whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or daily walks. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything consistent with their usual schedule and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

Just let me know what time you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! When dog sitting in a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep their space clean and treat their home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of dogs throughout my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy their surroundings without feeling rushed. I’m very patient and like to get a feel for each dog’s personality and energy level. If they’re excited, playful, and active, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them engaged. If they’re more relaxed or shy, I’m just as happy to give them the space, patience, and comfort they need. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while they’re with me! I’m currently a Physical Therapy student, and pet care will be my part-time job alongside school. I don’t work anywhere else, so I’m able to dedicate my free time to caring for your pets! As a pet lover, I thought this would be a great way to do something I enjoy while also helping support my education. In my PT program I only have one 2-hr class a day so I have plenty of free time around that. I’m happy to use my free time for dog walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care! 🐾 I’m happy to welcome pets into my home! There is a fenced yard for outdoor play time and spacious indoor space as well. I have one dog and one cat of my own, both are very friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog especially loves having a new friend to play with! I also understand that not every pet is as social or outgoing. If your dog is more shy, nervous, or simply prefers their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep pets in separate areas when needed so they can feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home during their stay.
“Joshua is so great with dogs! My Chloe loves him and I trust him completely with her. Plus he is very responsive to my communication and is available when I request service. I highly recommend Joshua.”
About: I lived with animals at home, all my life.I m the one that friends ask to take care of their furry friend when they re not here or just need a safety back up in case. I also travel around the world, what gave me even more experience to be close to different kinds of wild life and pets as well.I did volunteer with cat s and dog s shelter as well. I speak portuguese, english, spanish and french so I can connect better with the owners if needed. Animals are part of nature like us. I have total availiblity and love to assist your furry family member when you re not here present! I can go to your house or mine if needed. I’ m also super clean person and detailed orientated person. Punctual as well. I will take care of them, like if they were my family too. Animals sense the energy , I truly believe they sense us and who we are.
About: Certified dog trainer with a licensed and insured pet care business! I’m also a proud dog mom and genuinely love working with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I provide personalized care based on what works best for each dog. As a trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement into walks and everyday interactions when appropriate. I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, practice good habits, and get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or training, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m a full-time pet care provider, so pet care is my primary focus and I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and training, and I’m especially happy to accommodate recurring weekly walks and consistent routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that is comfortable and consistent for them. For walks and training, I use secure leashes and equipment appropriate for each dog and pay close attention to their surroundings and behavior. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my visit. As a certified dog trainer, I’m experienced in understanding canine body language and creating a positive, calm experience for every dog in my care.
“Elena was able to quickly respond to our request to walk our dog and help walk our dog the next day. She provided great communication and professionalism. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan. I live with my 2 year old golden retriever, Matcha, and my fiance, Zack, in our spacious apartment in Irvine. We LOVE dogs, all sizes, all breeds, all personalities, and we’d love to meet and care for yours! I personally have 3 years of veterinary assistant experience, so I am no stranger to proper and safe dog handling, especially in times of emergencies. I currently work fully remote as an HR Specialist at a medical device company, so I will be home all day to watch your furry friend. We live on the second floor with a balcony, and our community has a lot of beautiful green belts and walking trails nearby (your pup will have LOTS of fun). We also have a dog park inside the community, too! Our friends and family consider us their designated dogsitter because we just love dogs so much! We are native to Orange County and are serving clients within OC. We are very much looking forward to hosting your pup(s)! Pet care is second nature to me. I feed my dog twice a day and relieve her at least 5 times a day (2 of which are 30 minute walks or park time). I also wipe my dog’s paws every time after she goes outside. Dog walking: I keep them close on a short leash to ensure their safety, and we will always walk on the sidewalk. Dog boarding: My priority is to make your dog feel at home, safe, loved, and happy. I love to give cuddles, but if your dog doesn’t like that, that’s fine too! Your dog will be allowed on my couch and bed. Mi casa es su casa!
About: Hi! My name is Sam and thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch your fur baby! I can’t wait to make them feel at home while you’re away and make them part of my family. I work from home as an HR Specialist, giving me the opportunity to pay close attention to your fur baby for whatever they need: walks, cuddles, play time, breakfast, lunch, dinner - whatever is needed my schedule will be the best fit. My home will be a safe place for your fur baby, if they want to sleep on the bed, the couch, by the door, anywhere they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away is their place.
About: I have been a dog lover and dog owner my whole life. I have always had dogs and I currently have a Puggle named Sheldon Cooper. He loves dogs too and we are always at the dog park. I stay at home and love an excuse to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Your dog will be well loved and cared for with me. I love any excuse I can get to get out and enjoy the beautiful fresh air.

“Temi was amazing with our dog! We got updates all the time and it felt like Maui was on vacation with her sitter while we were away. She took her to the park, on walks, and to the beach! Will definitely be rebooking with Temi in the future.”
“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“We are very grateful for how Megan took care of our 7 year old Golden while we were away, sending pictures and updates everyday. Megan is a great communicator, very caring and truly loves dogs. We will love to have Jingle stay with her in the future and we highly recommend Megan!”
“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“Rommel and his family were exceptional sitters to Stormy. He was immediately responsive, sent updated photos throughout the week, and catered to my older dog’s dietary needs. 10/10 recommend”
“Rohan did a great job at looking after my 2 year old aussie, Beau! Beau gets anxious around people on walks and Rohan did a great job at following my care instructions to make sure that my dog was safe and managed his anxiety well. I’m glad I was able to trust Rohan to create a comfortable environment for my dog!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“1000000% would recommend anyone to Gina! Gina was truly exceptional and wanted to know everything about Penny to provide her the best care possible. She was in constant contact with us and provided many daily pictures and videos. It made us feel at ease that Penny was well cared for while we were away. Thank you so much Gina, Daniel and Daisy! We’ll see you soon ;)”
“Lee took excellent care of our girl! She is older and has some particular needs and Lee was highly communicative and helped make our gal’s stay a success. I was super grateful for her flexibility. This was the furthest we had been away from our dog and Lee made me feel at ease the entire time. Her home felt like a very safe space and I’m so grateful to Lee for working so hard to keep Pickle happy. Definitely book with Lee!”
“This was Taco’s first time staying with Rebecca and Tom and it won’t be the last! They care so much and are so attentive. I really appreciate how they kept the dogs separate upon tacos arrival so they could warm up to each other before letting her freely interact with everyone else. Taco clearly had a blast. And Rebecca sends photos throughout the day which gave so much peace of mind. It made me feel free to enjoy my time because I could see how much she was enjoying hers💖”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“She cared for my dog as her own. I felt very comfortable and confident have my baby with her. She updated with pictures frequently. I’d definitely have my baby stay with her again in the future”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“Anna has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Mochi! This is the third time she’s cared for him, and every experience has been wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing I can leave him with someone I completely trust. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Mochi is always happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, which says everything. I also appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away—they give me so much peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Anna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. Thank you, Anna, for taking such great care of Mochi every time!”
“Saeedeh is second mommy to my Shi tzu, Taddy. Taddy is so attached to me, and has detach anxiety. He gets anxious and scared if we leave him somewhere even with his dr. He stayed with Saeede for entire week, when we were away and he was so happy when we picked him up. Saeedeh even took him for a visit with my mom so he feels safe. He was loved and being taking care of. I absolutely recommend Saeedeh to all my friends and family. Now I am relieved that Taddy has a second home, when needed.”
