“Mariah was great with our dog, and even provided a meet-and-greet opportunity before booking to help us feel it was a good fit. She was very responsive and took good care of our little one. Would book again.”
“What a great sitter! I had never boarded by puppy before, so I was nervous. But it was a great experience. She sent me pictures of my puppy an my puppy looked so happy. I would use her again! Thank you for making me feel that my puppy was safe and happy! Highly recommend!”
“Laura was amazing, she immediately assuage our anxiety leaving our precious Macon with her for 2 weeks. Our little one seems so happy with her based on her daily picture updates which really assured us that Macon was in good hands. Thank you Laura for giving us the opportunity to have a great time with our vacation knowing that our little one has great care. I highly recommend Laura if you want peace of mind. ??????”
“Leonore & Davis were absolutely fantastic! I just moved to the area and they will definitely be my new go-to sitter. My girl Layne took them immediately and her and Yuki became fast friends. They were unbelievably flexible and understanding (I must have changed our trip plan 5 times), took the best pictures and gave consistent and reassuring updates throughout the sit. It was clear from Day 1 our pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was amazing with our dog, Bug! She frequently sent us updates and took great care of our pup. Would highly recommend her boarding services, and we look forward to working with her again :)”
“Karina is so sweet and accommodating! My baby was so much calmer when I got him! The communication was on point! I will be happy to use her services again!”
“Ashley was reliable, friendly and great at taking cute photos of dogs. She was great at communicating with us and made sure to cater to our dog’s needs as we requested. We felt very reassured using her service and would return in the future. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Can I just say wow? Bow wow? Kate is the best case scenario on Rover—confident, competent, and sends great updates. She definitely followed our instructions, and gave them lots of snuggles and attention. We picked up two very happy doggies at the end of a 4 night boarding and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it all went. We’ve had some horror stories go down with rovers in the past and this really restored our hopes that this app can be a big success if you find the right person <3 10/10 would book again. (We have 2 2yo pug-dachshunds, no meds, no health issues, 2-walks-a-day energy)”
“This was our second time bringing our yorkie Jehu to Marby, and she never disappoints! She kept us updated throughout the entire 5 days with daily photos of their walks and mealtimes — it truly put our hearts at ease. We recently switched Jehu to a homemade frozen food diet, and Marby handled the preparation without any hesitation, making sure he was well fed and cared for. Jehu absolutely loves her dog Mamba, so he had a built-in best friend the whole time. He came home safe, happy, and clearly well-loved. We will absolutely be back — highly recommend Marby to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares!”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“My dog Yuri had the best time at Jane’s home! Yuri can be pretty shy but Jane took great care of her and really made her feel at home. Yuri has a great time and got to play with her dogs :) I Highly recommend!”
“We left our senior dog with Annie and Kina for 2 weeks while out of country. Annie is super responsive, smart and so sweet. She sent pics everyday, took him out (with our permission), and gave us updates. She handles senior dogs w health issues and on a medical routine very well. We’d definitely recommend Annie!!”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“This sitter is highly recommended. She provided excellent care and the TLC she provided my pet came from her naturally; it’s clear that she has a natural connection with animals. I will be a repeat customer.”
“This is my second time reaching out to Edith to watch over my Jack Russell terrier Zorro. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment I left for vacation, I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. Edith kept me updated every single day with messages and photos, which meant so much and made being away so much easier. It was obvious that she truly cared for my dog and treated him like one of her own. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Edith to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you for going above and beyond Edith!”
“Sabrina is fantastic. She took great care of our dogs, kept us up to date on their stay along with pictures. Our dogs were picked up and were healthy and very happy.”

“Bronte was so dependable and super personable. We will definitely book her again the next time we go away for a trip. Our cat was so happy to greet her and get pets.”
“Jennifer was very friendly and took great care of our cats on her drop in visit. She texted us photos and troubleshooted when one of our automatic feeders malfunctioned, ensuring our kitties had eaten before she left so that we could take comfort that they would be ok until we returned. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
“Lindsay is a reliable, intelligent and efficient pet sitter and I felt completely comfortable in having her come by to feed my two cats while I was on vacation. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Raymond did the best job caring for my kitties when I was gone for a week! We were very specific with our instructions & he absolutely delivered. I know it’s not easy getting meds to one of my skittish babies but he did awesome. Truly went above & beyond. Thank you so much, Raymond!”
“Sarah is magic!! She provided so many pictures and videos while we were away, even showing that one of our feisty cats trusted her and took treats straight from her hands (huge good sign in our world). We have never felt our cats to be at so much peace and calm upon returning from a trip, we hope Sarah can watch them any time we have to leave in the future!”

“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”
“Cassandra is the BEST. I have two cats who are my babies. They are both really attached to me, so I hate leaving them. From the second Cassandra came over to meet them, both cats were clearly at ease. Cassandra has watched them a few times for me, and every time I get multiple photos and updates on how they’re doing. I can tell from the photos that they’re both super relaxed and happy. It makes it a tiny bit easier to be away from them.”

“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I worked at a dog kennel for a couple of years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These days, I have a one year old golden retriever with lots of energy! My favorite part of my day is taking her on our daily walks. Walking your dog will add to my joy and I will make sure each walk is not just exercise, but something your dog truly enjoys. I’m comfortable with all breeds and love how even a short walk can make a dog’s day better. Whether your pup needs a brisk outing or a slower stroll, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well taken care of! I’m currently working part-time and would love to spend my free days getting outside with some happy pups—whether they’re full of energy or prefer a slower pace. I have confidence in all dog breeds and am capable of walking all sizes and ages of dogs. I only do dog walking-no dog sitting.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week.

“I think i’ve never felt so calm with my dog being with someone! Katherine was incredible with tyson, and you can tell by how happy he looked in the pictures and how happy he came home. She is the best with communication, sending pictures and overall taking care of dogs! Thank you so much again and I hope tyson can come back to you another time!!”
“My pup is knocked out ! I had to wake him up to eat his dinner tonite. Maria is an awesome caregiver. She follows instructions, communicates wonderfully, and sends lots of pictures of my happy pup playing and relaxing with her pack. I will definitely use Maria again, highly recommended.”
“Arriyanna is amazing! Nova was extremely eager to get dropped off, she definitely remembered her first stay and I can tell she enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend her for all your daycare needs! Glad to know I have a sitter I can rely on.”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“I don’t really know what or how to put it because Ruby is like my 3rd daughter and she was 100% happy well taken care words can’t really express it I’m 100% happy would recommend to anyone that needs a dog sitter she was so good to my puppy i usually don’t leave reviews and never this long but I’m overly pleased and thankfull”
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“I had been searching for a daycare service I could truly trust with my baby for a long time. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety, but even after Steven and Kim-Anh learned about it, they were very understanding and happy to take care of Mahur. She is usually very cautious around new people, but she seemed to feel safe and comfortable in their home. Both Steven and Kim are very passionate about training, and they spent a lot of time playing with and caring for Mahur. I finally feel relieved knowing that I’ve found a daycare I can trust completely. I would absolutely love to continue bringing her here in the future.”
About: Ive always worked with big pups but we are body positive here. I volunteer at shelters just to make the little guys happy and cant wait to meet and take care of all kinds of new friends. I just moved to Long Beach and as i am looking for a full time job in the hospital again, I’d love to care for your pets! my schedule is super flexible, ideally early morning to afternoon. Your fur (or furless) babies are so special, gotta keep them entertained and happy, just let me know what you need and I will be there!
About: I am an experienced dog walker and cat/bird drop-in care. Specialized in emotionally challenged dogs. Very large dogs that pull can be difficult for me to manage. I have availability between 8am and 9pm most days, seven days a week. My availability is uploaded a month in advance. Please book early to guarantee availability. Pet safety is my priority. I am aware of surroundings during walks, particularly for coyotes, and carry pepper spray for extra protection. I also gauge walks based on a dog’s need and capacity.
“Linette watched my 5 month old wild puppy while I was at Disney. I really appreciated her acceptance of my short notice, video call meet and greet, and super flexible pickup/dropoff!”
“We’re so appreciative of the care Ron gives our Frenchie babies, Coco and Gucci. Living in the San Diego area, we go to great lengths to find quality care and Ron is worth every mile. Even after more than a year without seeing him, our pups instantly remembered him. They were tugging and pulling to say hi, tails wagging and faces full of joy. They left with smiles, and so did we. Ron’s calm energy and thoughtful setup make all the difference. Coco and Gucci get along beautifully with the other dogs he hosts, which helps them stay socialized and happy. It’s clear Ron treats every dog like family. We trust him completely and feel lucky to have found someone who truly understands and loves our fur babies. Thank you, Ron, for being part of their world!”
“Poppy enjoyed her stay with Ximina and the other pups that were there. It was so nice for me to have a little downtime and do some shopping. But mostly it was wonderful knowing that Poppy was well taken care of.”
About: Hello there! My husband, two kids, and I live in East Long Beach. Feel free to send me a message to see what we can schedule! Thank you for your time! I currently work part-time from home. My kids (ages 6 & 11) love animals too and they help me out with routine, safety, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. We are great at following each pet's routine closely based on the owner's instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, light exercise, and any medications as directed. We make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for during each visit, clean up after meals or play, and provide photos so owners know their pet is doing well.
“Cheryline was incredibly friendly, flexible, and made the whole process so easy. She took great care of Charlie, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a devoted pet parent and passionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. For the past 4+ years, I’ve shared my life with my own fur baby, and she’s truly become my best friend. Spending my days caring, playing, and bonding with her has taught me how to build trust, show love, and pay attention to the little things that matter most to animals. What sets me apart is the level of care I bring by being thoughtful, detail-oriented, and heartwarming. I’ve learned to read pets' emotions, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and respond quickly. After navigating health issues with my own pup, I know how to stay calm, be prepared, and act fast when needed, always putting their safety and comfort first. I'm also very mindful of my surroundings during walks or social encounters. I’ve developed a strong sense of how to read the body language of unfamiliar dogs and can quickly spot when another dog may be feeling anxious or reactive. This helps me avoid risky situations and ensures that the dogs in my care are always safe and well-protected. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a playful companion, or someone to keep a watchful, loving eye while you’re away, I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. I'm currently available full time to care for your pets! I recently moved to the U.S. with my husband and our fur baby due to his job. I am going to school to learn english as english is my second language so I hope that Rover also gives me the oportunity to meet many animal lover parents and helps me get more involved with the community. On the side I love working out and when I am not with my family or at school I am typically running and excercising, as that is a big part of my life. I’m here to provide the specific care your pet needs whether it’s a visit, a walk, respecting their space, offering a safe crate or area to relax, or keeping track of feeding times. I pay close attention to every detail to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family member, so I’m happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like. I truly love making pet parents feel calm and confident that their baby is in great hands.
“Mahur is a very nervous and cautious dog, but Michelle was incredibly patient and took the time to earn her trust. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. Mahur usually doesn't like being touched by people she doesn't know, so I was amazed to receive a video of Michelle petting her while Mahur looked completely relaxed. It was clear that Michelle genuinely cared for her and made her feel safe. Michelle is a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.”
“I was very happy with Alex and his family. They treated my dog like a real fam and it made me feel at ease the whole time i was away with my dog. They updated me with photos of my dog while i was away and it made me feel really happy that my dog is good and caring hands while we are having fun also at Disneyland. They didnt treat my dog any different and they let him play freely in their lovely house. And they willingly let me extend the pick up time even when its late already just for me to continue have a wonderful time and fun at Disneyland. Thank you again alex and family for the awesome experience. I will definitely book you again when im in your area.”

“Amie walks my reactive dog Sunny weekly and working with her has been a wonderful experience from the beginning. She’s a very responsive communicator, she’s very good with dogs and has helped me with extra walks as my schedule requires. I greatly appreciate her communication with me about my dogs behavior - I highly recommend Amie!”
“The pups had a great time! I could tell from the look on their faces on the adorable pics sent to me while I was away. No complaints and I have plans to request Brionna again in the future!”
“This is the second time we booked Lindsay to walk Chester and she did great! She was kind and professional and sent us a report card with pictures to let us know how the walk went. I highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for pets now is second nature. I raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with everything from potty training and basic commands to daily excersise, enrichment, and routine care. As a marathon runner, I am especially well suited for active and high energy dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, runs, hikes, or plenty of playtime, I am happy to help them get the excerise and attention they need. I also grew up with two family dogs and currently help care for my roommates cat, so I am comfortable with different personalties, energy levels, and care needs. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and reptiles. At one point, I was responsible for 8 pets at the same time, which taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and reliable when managing multiple feeding schedules, cleaning routines, and individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving and capable hands. I am currently on summer break from UC Davis and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pets routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I will be extremely thorough and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, excersise, training, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure at all times, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.
“Hannah was great with my baby! She was really punctual, trusting, really easy to get ahold of, and so so sweet to my baby. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again! Thank you Hannah!”
“Thank you to a rover dog walking service and Raymond My dog who would not walk with others is now excited to see Raymond. Raymond's made a huge breakthrough with my dog miracle!!”
About: Hi! I’m a proud corgi mom who truly believes dogs are family. My first corgi lived with degenerative myelopathy during the last three years of his life, giving me experience caring for dogs with mobility challenges, patience, and compassion. I’ve also fostered dogs and was often trusted with the tougher cases because of my patience, training skills, and ability to help dogs build confidence and learn new behaviors. My current corgi and I stay active with training and agility classes at Zoom Room, and we love spending time outdoors. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care that fits your dog’s needs. I’m responsible, punctual, trustworthy, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I work from home and run my own business which allows my schedule to be flexible, dependable, and available when your dog needs me most. I treat every pet and home with the same care, respect, and attention I would want for my own. Before each visit, I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can provide a safe and stress-free experience. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks, following your instructions carefully, and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I’m reliable, communicative, and will provide updates so you always know how your pup is doing.
About: Hi, my name is Sereina! I've grown up around dogs and have always been someone reliable and trustworthy around others pets as well. I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I would love to keep growing my experience and getting to know families and their pet family members as well! Currently I am working a part time job and visit my family in San Diego frequently. I am in school during the fall as a full time student but have extra time right now in the summer. Caring for your pet is another way for me to fill up the time throughout the week and meet new pets! As your pet sitter, I can be very by the book. If you have any special requests or know how to counteract any known behaviors from your pet I am capable of following your standards and following what is most comfortable and right for your pet. I will treat your pet with the same love and respect you have for them (and then some!). I am patient and will do everything I can to hold yours and your pets trust.
About: There has not been a day in my that I’ve not shared it with one or more pet.This has allowed me to understand each fur baby has unique needs. I would be honored to offer special attention to your dog, cat, puppy, or kitten when you are unavailable. My schedule is currently flexible allowing me to pop by for potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, walks (long, short, quick paced or slow), administer medications throughout the day. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority, while following their routine and abiding by your house rules. I’ll give your pet the same loving attention I give my own.
About: I’ve had pets since as long as I could remember. Right now, I have 3 babies that are my whole world. My dog, Chloe, is 17yrs and she’s been in my life since I was 6 years old. My rabbit, Eevee, was dumped and abandoned at a nearby field, and I found her while on a walk. She’s been with me for nearly 3yrs now. Then came my cat, Ponyo, and I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she will be 3yrs in July. I have always loved animals more than people, even more than myself, to be honest. I see every single pet, even ones that aren’t mine, as family, and equally deserving of love and respect. Update: My baby Chloe has recently passed and I am extremely heartbroken. She was my soulmate. I miss her everyday. Grief is love with nowhere to go. If given the opportunity to care for your pet I would not only be helping you but you would be helping me as well. My biggest and only responsibilities are my own little ones, so I am always at home caring for them. I struggle with my mental and physical health, so most regular jobs can be a bit too much pressure on me. I have 3 very different pets in my home that each have different needs. My dog being a senior means I have to pay extra attention to her and be diligent with her care. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling different types of animals of all ages.
About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, new to the area and currently accepting new clients with flexible, wide-open availability. I have two dogs of my own—Franny (a senior queen 👑) and Carlos—so I really understand that every pet has their own pace and personality. Whether your dog wants a slow, sniff-everything stroll or a more active walk, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, even the strong pullers 💪) and focus on safe, positive walks with good manners and plenty of time to explore. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I adjust my approach to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, secure, and as you left them. I’m mindful with doors, gates, and leashes, and always prioritize safety. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to keep your pet relaxed, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible.

About: My partner and I are available to house sit and/or pet sit in the LA area. I have worked with animals since I was 5 years old from training horses to volunteering at animal shelters with “dangerous” breeds to owning my own dogs. I love animals and understand the care and attention needed to your home and pets. As frequent travelers ourselves, we provide the same service we would hope to receive when we hit the road. :) I am currently between jobs and available very flexibly in May / June to care for your home and pets. My partner works remote and joins me for added safety and extra care. I care for animals as if they are my own. It’s important to comfort them during the time their owners are away, and I am also aware that I am not there to change anything from how you like them to be cared for.
About: Since loosing my sweet boxer last year to cancer, I am seeking more opportunities to spend time with and love on animals as if they were my own. For those needing a hand with a busy schedule, I would be grateful to help out with their fur buddies. As a lifelong animal lover I have experience with overnight stays and simple walks for family/friends pets as well, now hoping to expand horizons. I’ve taken care of the whole range from puppy potty training - animal aggressive dogs. I am currently a student at CSULB, during summer I have a very flexible schedule and also up until recently unemployed. My availability during the day is usually open and always open to move around. I am very comfortable with animals inside and outside the house. My pets have always slept inside on bed, although always end up on the couch. I do have a decent sized gated backyard with grassy areas. There is room for play as well as training essentials, crates, playpens etc.

“Laura was amazing, she immediately assuage our anxiety leaving our precious Macon with her for 2 weeks. Our little one seems so happy with her based on her daily picture updates which really assured us that Macon was in good hands. Thank you Laura for giving us the opportunity to have a great time with our vacation knowing that our little one has great care. I highly recommend Laura if you want peace of mind. ??????”
“Leonore & Davis were absolutely fantastic! I just moved to the area and they will definitely be my new go-to sitter. My girl Layne took them immediately and her and Yuki became fast friends. They were unbelievably flexible and understanding (I must have changed our trip plan 5 times), took the best pictures and gave consistent and reassuring updates throughout the sit. It was clear from Day 1 our pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Can I just say wow? Bow wow? Kate is the best case scenario on Rover—confident, competent, and sends great updates. She definitely followed our instructions, and gave them lots of snuggles and attention. We picked up two very happy doggies at the end of a 4 night boarding and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it all went. We’ve had some horror stories go down with rovers in the past and this really restored our hopes that this app can be a big success if you find the right person <3 10/10 would book again. (We have 2 2yo pug-dachshunds, no meds, no health issues, 2-walks-a-day energy)”
“We left our senior dog with Annie and Kina for 2 weeks while out of country. Annie is super responsive, smart and so sweet. She sent pics everyday, took him out (with our permission), and gave us updates. She handles senior dogs w health issues and on a medical routine very well. We’d definitely recommend Annie!!”
“This sitter is highly recommended. She provided excellent care and the TLC she provided my pet came from her naturally; it’s clear that she has a natural connection with animals. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Anastacia was amazing as a sitter. She kept in communication and sent cute updates often. I’ve had a super busy week and barely got a minute to myself. It wasn’t possible for me to be reaching out to her to ask questions. Instead she took it upon herself to send updates without being prompt. My whiskey came back seeming happy and rested. I think he took a doggy vacation from us. I recommend her if you’re looking to trust someone with your sweet baby.”
“Heather did a wonderful job of taking care of both of our fur babies (cat and dog). She went out of her way to bring the dog for the cat visits so the our cat can play with and have the company of our dog. She also spent time playing with both of our animals. I found Heather to be extremely responsive answering questions and sending pictures. She also showed us a better way to give our cat his meds and took the time to send us a video. We will definitely have Heather as our go to for both of our fur babies because we know when Heather is taking care of them, they are in the best hands possible!”
“Derek was great! I appreciated how thoughtful he was when we met for our meet n greet. He asked very insightful questions and I could tell he was observing my dog very closely. It also made me feel comfortable because I know he does the same with any dog he watches to make sure he thinks they’ll be ok around another dog he might be caring for. I also loved the pictures and videos throughout the weekend of my dog! And how easygoing he is with drop off and pick up! You can tell he is very experienced with caring for dogs and I can tell my dog had a blast :) he has a nice home and outdoor space for the dogs to relax :) I saw pictures of my dog on the couch which I’m sure he loved haha I highly recommend him to others ! Thanks again Derek!”
“Thank you so much, Jacqueline, for taking care of our needy two dogs, one of which was a super sensitive, typical chihuahua with medication needs as well. Jacqueline’s family was so sweet to our dogs and sent occasional photos which really comforted us throughout our trip. Jacqueline and her husband, along with their adorable kids treated our dogs with affection and care, and I can’t thank them enough! I’m really careful with who takes care of our dogs and we’re so glad Jacqueline’s family was there for our two dogs. Thank you!”
“Micah and Jessica are the best!! They take such amazing care of our dogs, we will 100% at ease with them. They will always be our go-to sitters.”
“Caroline was awesome and the perfect sitter for our dog, Happy! He can be somewhat sensitive which makes it hard for us to leave him with other people, but Caroline was not only attentive and understanding of how he can be, but also very accommodating and communicative with us on how he is doing by sending pictures, videos and constant updates during our entire trip! Her home and neighborhood was also excellent. Highly recommend and will be booking Caroline again in the future!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“I couldn't have left my dog Luna in better hands! I'm so happy to recommend Naeema. She was super accommodating for a last-minute weekend booking! Such an angel! Super responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures, which was greatly appreciated. Luna had a blast at a doggy beach date! Luna had the best time and will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Katia has been a blessing! Doggies seem very happy when I’m picking them up. I could just tell that they were well taken care of. They’ll definitely see you again soon! Thank you so much!”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Thanks Brian! Clark had a great time going on walks and to the park. Brian kept us updated with photos of their adventures along the way. Would love to visit again soon.”
