“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Our dog, Maple, had such a wonderful time staying with Lori and Craig. Lori updated often and provided lots of photos of her incredible time staying with them. You could tell Lori was so attentive with her and made sure she was loved and well cared for during her stay. After her adventures playing at their house and with their pups she came home and slept all day long, she was completely tuckered out! I’m so happy to have found a wonderful family for Maple to stay with while we are away and she will be staying with them again in a few short weeks. Thanks Lori and Craig!”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Bella is always well taken care of at Vadym and Svitlana’s home! We get frequent updates while away and Bella is always excited to see them and stay over. Would highly recommend if you ever need a dogsitter!”
“Sara was awesome with my pet Choco. She always sent updates and pics. She treated my pet the way I do which is what I look for in a sitter. I have booked another sitting for my Pet with Sara. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a temporary home for their pet.”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE Alicia and Christian and so does our Milo. This is the 3rd time we leave Milo with them because they are simply amazing, caring, communicative, all the great qualities of a dog sitter! Don’t even look any further, they are the right family for the care of your little one 💕”
“I absolutely cannot express how wonderful Ms. Diane is! She took amazing care of my super shy puppy and put my mind at ease! My little lady warmed up to her right away! Would highly recommend.”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“Thank you Lucy for watching my two dogs over the holidays! We have two senior dogs on a raw diet and Lucy was very accommodating. Lucy showed up early for pick up and drop off, and provided daily updates/photos on how they were doing. Our two dogs had so much fun while away and we are so thankful to Lucy and her wonderful family!”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Robert and Andrea were very accommodating, I needed to board my Atlas last minute for thanksgiving and they were able to take her. I got photo updates of her and she came back a happy pup. Thank you!”
“Darcey was fantastic and went above and beyond in every aspect of caring for our pet. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional, ensuring our pet felt loved and well-cared for. We're so glad to have found Darcey and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Darcey, for being the absolute best!!! 100 stars”
“Brandy was absolutely fantastic in caring for our senior dog. She showed such genuine concern and attentiveness to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Koda was exceptionally well looked after, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone in need of a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care and keeping me informed of my dog’s wellbeing while we were away. I appreciate how quick you are letting me know of the episode he had. Thankfully our dog had recovered quickly and he was okay.”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Caleb was friendly and we felt comfortable leaving our dog Ike with him. Ike seemed happy when we got him. He provided an update when we first dropped Ike off but would have loved more updates and photos to see what Ike was up to throughout his stay.”

“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
About: I grew up in the small town of Valley Center and have been around animals all of my life. From dogs and cats to horses and sheep, I have worked with them all. I love animals of all sizes and would love to show care and love for your animal when you need it. I have raised puppies and had senior dogs. Worked with all types of livestock. I was in FFA in high school and raised cattle and sheep and was an officer. I had cats all of my life and worked for 2 years at a exotic cat beerder in high school.

“Carla is the most amazing caretaker! I left her with one senior cat-very difficult. Also another middle aged cat. I left my two cats with her for 21 days, and when I got back Leo looked better than when I left him! I honestly believe he didn't want to leave Carla's. She is also very kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a cat sitter one thousand percent! You can leave your feline with her with no worries.”
“We were very anxious to leave our cat Bambi alone for the weekend for the first time and even more stressed when our sitter fell through last minute. Dana was incredibly attentive and patiently accepted all of our requests for Bambi on short notice. I definitely felt so much more assured that Bambi wouldn’t be completely alone and would have someone as compassionate as Dana to accompany him :-) Dana’s updates on Bambi during check ins really reassured us that Bambi was doing well. and in good hands :-) i would definitely consider Dana again in the future ❤️”
About: Although I have not personally owned a cat myself, we live with my mother in law and help her care for her 3 cats. I have experience feeding cats, changing litter boxes, administering medications with syringes, and providing consistent care for cats of all sizes and ages.
About: My oldest cat has had many health issues and I never hesitated to put his health before mine. I would do the same for your babies. I have watched cats for others before and currently have two cats of my own. I am willing to do anything your cat needs.
“We were very happy with Noemy, the cats are not used to us not being here and she actually sent pictures of them and they did not hide the entire time (this is huge!!!!!) Will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Sienna was absolutely wonderful with our dog—kind, attentive, and clearly experienced. Communication was excellent throughout, and she was incredibly flexible with some minor changes to the schedule, which we really appreciated since my husband is in the military and had to leave on short notice. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of medically needy cats, such as cats with asthma, pills, and leaking wounds for multiple years. I also have experience with reading feline body language in order to ensure their comfort while I’m in their space. Elderly cats are very familiar to me, but young cats with high energy are just as wonderful.
“Alexandra was wonderful! She was very attentive and communicative and was flexible when my little guy needed to start a medication at the last minute. Would definitely ask her again!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! Incredibly flexible with visits. Had to stay late for work last minute. I needed a night time visit to let my dog out and she was more than happy to help out! Last second life saver! Took great care of my dog while I was away for a few days as well!”

About: I have 8+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“I’m so thankful Lori was able to accommodate a last minute daycare request. We had something else set up that fell through, and we found a GEM of a sitter/daycare location!! I got frequent updates and pics, which showed me how comfortable my pup was in Lori’s home. He had a great time playing with her dogs and the others at daycare, and she was gracious to give him some yummy treats, which he LOVED! 🍉 Maverick had such a good time he literally didn’t want to come home with me when I picked him up - soooo funny! I will def book Lori again, knowing how much she loved hosting Mav and constantly how much he loved being there ❤️”
“Sarah is an amazing sitter. She’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I thought my dog was going to be too energetic and difficult for her, but I was totally wrong. Definitely will be bringing my dog back again soon!”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“Sierra was great with my dog. Took her on a last minute booking and was super flexible. My dog can be anxious with new settings and she immediately connected with sierra and settled right in at the little dog haven they have created.”
“Trish and her family are the best. My dog gets all of the love when she is over and comes home exhausted and has happy dreams. Trish is a great communicator and sends fun pics through the day so my work day is that much better. Moving forward, I will be making arrangements for my dog to stay with Trish and fam when I am out of town so that I can travel assured my pup will have all of the love in my absence.”
“This was my first true experience having a dog sitter and boy did Kayla blow it out of the water. I was extremely nervous finding someone to care for my two golden retrievers, that I’ve had since they were both babies, and finding someone I trusted to watch them was anxiety inducing. Long story short I am in a hotel temporarily with the doggos until our new home is ready and finding care was imperative. After scrolling through some rover profiles, and finding Kayla’s page I sent her a message and we initially did a meet and greet! Phenomenal idea to ensure the doggos get along and for me to know exactly where they’ll be and see the home, etc! My Golden’s were given love and then some more!!! They were even taken out on a field trip to a softball game where they got even more lovings. My Golden’s Rosie & Delilah made amazing friends with Kayla’s Golden, Copper, and overall I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitting experience and I feel so reassured knowing I now have a trusted, affordable, genuine pup sitter. My babies received immense love from Kayla along with everyone in their family. The children were beyond caring and sweet to the girls and they absolutely adored them. They were with Kayla and her family for 2 full days last week, one for a very important medical appointment that I couldn’t miss. After picking them up the first day I was floored when one of my Goldens ran away from the car as we were getting ready to leave and ran to Kayla’s front door. She had so much fun she did not want to leave!! The second day before leaving I asked if they wanted to go see Kayla and Copper and both of them bounced up and started running around. Thanks a million Kayla, you took so much weight off my shoulders and the updates throughout the day were adorable!!! You’re the best!”
“Carrie is fantastic! Roswell is our first dog we have had as a couple and we have been a little nervous about leaving him while we work during the day. When he is with Carrie, we have no worries! He always is so happy when he arrives at her home and has an amazing time in her dog friendly yard with dogs his size to play with. We don’t have to worry about him getting hurt, since she only takes small dogs. The yard and safe and has so much room for running and playing! Roswell is such a happy and tired boy when he gets home from Carrie’s. Carrie is a lifesaver for working dog parents!”
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
“She is amazing, send videos, pictures, and updates throughout the day and is a very kind person. This was our puppy’s first ever doggy daycare experience and im so happy I picked Acausha! I will definitely rebook with her next time I need it!”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“Michele was great! Our dogs loved her & we felt comfortable leaving both our pups in her hands for the day. She followed directions and provided an update. Both pups went home tired with smiles.”
About: Hello! I'm a dog enthusiast and former trainer working from home in an IT position now. Looking for pups who are a good fit to play with me and Winston during the day. We have a fenced in yard, and your dog will get plenty of affection and attention from me :) Both my partner and I work from home full time, so we have plenty of playtime and affection to go around! Potty breaks and playtime as frequently as your pup desires. Accepting new clients - Small dogs only (25 lb and under) My partner and I are both working from home full time, so your dog will get frequent attention, potty breaks, play time, and engagement from us!

I have a fenced in yard, and dogs are under 100% supervision while we are out back. I'll send plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day.
“Holly was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She gave them individual attention all day long with several updates and photos throughout the day. Our dogs didn’t even care when we dropped them off, which is unusual since they are clingy to us. The vibes were great! Thank you Holly!!”
“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
About: Cats, dogs, even mini-pigs served through Rover! Cat owner for 15 years, adult and senior with and without dietary restrictions and post-medical care. Dog experience too but not my own. Being patient, kind and understanding is most important with humans and animals. I work from home and set my own schedule for activities and obligations. I don’t overload my schedule so I can give myself and any obligations a fair and dedicated amount of time I introduce myself to animals with trust and kindness and let them introduce themselves and have fun at their own pace! Do they like walks, fetch, cuddling? If your dog is present for doggy day care with me, cats will be restricted to a room for the duration and the dog will have run of the house with supervised time in my backyard in addition to walks
About: I have had pets for most of my life. My family and I currently have one very playful dog, two cats and a bearded dragon. I, along with my family, have cared for family, friends and neighbors pets for several years now. I work from home, usually only leaving during the day for a few minutes in the afternoon for school pickups (most days I take my dog with me) or the occasional quick errand. I take breaks throughout the day for indoor and outdoor pet play time and daily walks. While I am usually home, if I need to be away for a time there is almost always at least one family member home. When working, my office door is always open. I have a fenced yard for outdoor play time and potty breaks and plenty of sidewalks, trails and parks near my home for daily walks and places to explore.

About: I began caring for dogs at a young age and have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, diets, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work fully remotely and maintain a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and for long-term stays, and I enjoy building my schedule around making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I always follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide consistency while they're away. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, crate training, house rules, and any special care requirements. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and plenty of supervision. I make sure pets receive the attention, enrichment, and care they need while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have volunteered at the humane society for about 2 years in total. I have had pets since I was 3. I was going to school to become a vet but schooling just got too spendy. I will love your babies as if they are my own I swear to you. I currently am unemployed so I am available to house sit, walk, play, or do anything you need me to for your pets whenever you need!! I have a fenced yard with fake grass. I live with one dog and two cats. I will feed them according to whatever you tell me but with my own pets they usually get small meals throughout the day. My cats are indoor only as well but can go outside with supervision.
About: Being the mother of my own fur-child in the past, I know how much your pets mean to your family. I am willing to help with frequent walks, feeding, play and activities and also vacation pet sitting. I adore all dogs ... breeds, size, age or medical condition doesn't matter. Since I haven't adopted another dog since mine passed over the rainbow bridge last year, I take great joy in taking care of other peoples dogs to fill that space only a puppy can fill. I'll be their "Aunt Holly"! And I promise I will take care of them like they are my own. My day job is done remotely, so I'm able to work from wherever I'm at during the day... even at your home with your pups as my assistants. We will be able to take our breaks outside or go for a walk or even play together. My time is very flexible.

About: - I’ve been blessed with 3 dogs in my life - I’ve dog-sat on multiple occasions for family and friends - I’ve worked at 2 dog daycare/boarding centers My schedule is very open at the moment. I am willing to accommodate a wide variety of schedules to take care of your pet :) I will care for dogs the way the owners would want me to. I’m very gentle and can accommodate the their stimulation needs and energy levels.
About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.

“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Our dog, Maple, had such a wonderful time staying with Lori and Craig. Lori updated often and provided lots of photos of her incredible time staying with them. You could tell Lori was so attentive with her and made sure she was loved and well cared for during her stay. After her adventures playing at their house and with their pups she came home and slept all day long, she was completely tuckered out! I’m so happy to have found a wonderful family for Maple to stay with while we are away and she will be staying with them again in a few short weeks. Thanks Lori and Craig!”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Sara was awesome with my pet Choco. She always sent updates and pics. She treated my pet the way I do which is what I look for in a sitter. I have booked another sitting for my Pet with Sara. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a temporary home for their pet.”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Robert and Andrea were very accommodating, I needed to board my Atlas last minute for thanksgiving and they were able to take her. I got photo updates of her and she came back a happy pup. Thank you!”
“Darcey was fantastic and went above and beyond in every aspect of caring for our pet. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional, ensuring our pet felt loved and well-cared for. We're so glad to have found Darcey and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Darcey, for being the absolute best!!! 100 stars”
“Brandy was absolutely fantastic in caring for our senior dog. She showed such genuine concern and attentiveness to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Koda was exceptionally well looked after, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone in need of a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care and keeping me informed of my dog’s wellbeing while we were away. I appreciate how quick you are letting me know of the episode he had. Thankfully our dog had recovered quickly and he was okay.”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Caleb was friendly and we felt comfortable leaving our dog Ike with him. Ike seemed happy when we got him. He provided an update when we first dropped Ike off but would have loved more updates and photos to see what Ike was up to throughout his stay.”
“Erica took great care of our 9 year old golden retriever. She was quick to respond to any questions and sent several pictures to show how well our dog was doing. Erica definitely treated our dog as if she were her own. Thank you, Erica!”
“Evan and Tatyanah took great care of our senior Aussie, Sidney! He came home happy, healthy and well fed! They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We got updates and pictures frequently while we were gone. So glad that we have found people that we can trust to leave Sidney with!”
“Vicki was great with my 8 month old Aussie pup! He did an overnight stay with her. There was a bit of sorting out of things between my pup and her dog, and she handled the situation like a pro. When I came the next morning to pick up my guy the 2 were getting along like old buds. Vicki knows what she is doing. Highly recommend. Thanks!”
“After our previous dog sitter moved to Northern California, we had a hard time finding someone who compares until we found David! He did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever, Charlie, even keeping us updated with pictures. David and his dog Auggie were the perfect fit for Charlie and I know they treated him like their own. Will definitely book with David again!”
“Priscila was excellent at ensuring my Lana had a great experience. From her outdoor activities, beach day, and play time it all contributed to Lana having a Great time. Priscila was awesome at providing pictures and video to update how my dog was doing. Thank you 👍”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
