“We couldn’t be happier with the care Laura provided for our dog! She was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt loved and comfortable while we were away. Laura kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful for her exceptional service. Highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs mainly some cats, for over 10+ years from my own personal dogs to friends and family neighbors, walking, feeding etc. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of not only my dogs but yours as well. My availability is open! If you are deciding to board, we have a two bedroom apartment and a whole dog park that is fenced off to take your little one for potty breaks, etc.
“We are so relieved to have found Bridgette & Connor in Topanga! Our Micky stayed with them for 8 nights, and we were never worried about him while traveling. Micky made new human and furry friends, and he was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was clear he received plenty of love, attention, and great care throughout his stay. Bridgette sent prompt updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took Micky to the vet to have his paw checked after he started limping before I dropped him off. I was worried, but Bridgette was incredibly caring, reliable, and communicative the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found them and will absolutely trust them with Micky again!”
“I recently moved to the Sherman Oaks area and was so happy that Emma was available at the last minute to help me with watching over my Shih Tzu. I will definitely be reaching out to her again without hesitation! I can definitely count on her!”
“Ashton and Jay are amazing!! It was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. They sent me photo updates throughout Truffles stay and were very communicative. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Christopher was wonderful with my rescue dog who has some separation anxiety. My pup was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and Christopher provided me updates. Would book again.”
“First time using rover and I don’t really know how my dog would react with other sitter. I was pretty amazed how my dog got along pretty quickly with James. Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“Nadège was amazing! Her home was a lovely spot to leave our Minnie for a couple days. Nadège was so welcoming and kind and we could not have asked for a better person to watch Minnie. If you want a sitter who will allow your dog to roam and get comfortable, who will give them lots of love and attention, and who will keep you updated with photos and kind words about your dog, then book Nadège! She is the best and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“I have a senior blind dog and she requires somone who is patient because she can be uneasy with new people. This was my 2nd time ever leaving my dog with a non family member and Alexandra was great. I asked for updates and she would respond quickly. I would definitely use Alexandra again for my Lola.”
“Monica is absolutely the best and our pup Sunny loves spending tine with her and her husband! She’s loving, caring and we know our dog is in great hands with her! Thank you Monica for everything and see you soon!!”
“We couldn't be more happy with Julieth and her family. They took care of Eros beyond professional. They were like family to Eros. He definitely had the time of jis life with them. Looots of active exercise, lots of walks, lots of love and lots of pictures and videos and updates. Eros is a big dog and not everyone can handle that, but they loved Eros. And Eros loves them too! Julieth is the right choice for your dog, don't even think about it!”
“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“This was rockets third time staying with Erin and her communication continued to be excellent. This allowed us to relax while on vacation knowing our pup was well cared for while receiving daily photos and updates. Rocket did experience some anxious behavior and Erin was able to relay this and provide him the support he needed. It was out of normal for him but we felt confident that Erin would take care of our baby. We have and would recommend booking with Erin.”
About: One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated. I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner. I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Sean was amazing with Theo while we were away for the week. He’s so caring, sent lots of great photos, and even brought him swimming (Theo’s favorite!) and bathed him after! Thank you for caring for our little guy - he can be difficult the first time somewhere new and you were incredible. 🙌🏼”
“Chan Woo is very timely, responsive and caring. I truly believe my dog was well taken care of and loved during the stay. He sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one with him and I would absolutely book with him again.”
“We are so happy we found Ryan and Abby. They watched our 2 rescue dogs and our puppy is terrified of strangers and sometimes screams. Ryan knew to sit down and let him come to him and fed him treats and before you know it, it was a love fest. I couldn’t believe it. Then he showered us with pics and videos and our pups had so much fun! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pups! Highly recommend!!!”

“I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!”
“I usually ask friends to take care of my cats, but this was my first time using Rover, and Marina took care of them. I was honestly a bit worried about having someone I didn’t know come into our home, especially since my cats are quite shy. However, Marina turned out to be someone I could trust more than anyone. I am so grateful to her—if I could meet her in person, I would give her a big hug. She was completely comfortable with us having indoor cameras, which gave me even more peace of mind. Every day, she went above and beyond what I had asked for. She kept me updated on even the smallest things and handled any unexpected situations in a very professional way. Sometimes she brought her young son with her, and I’m sure that brought so much joy to my cats as well. Rover’s system is very efficient and trustworthy, and now I feel like I can travel without any worries. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you so much.”
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“Katherine is the absolute best! She’s my go-to person to take care of my cat when I’m gone. She leaves the most wonderful check-in notes and takes the cutest pictures too, which makes me feel so secure even if I’m far away. And my cat loves her which is most important!”
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”
About: We grew up with cats in my family all my life. I had a cat for 20 years and I was with him to the very end of his precious life. I understand cats and how to calm them down and that they are misunderstood by many people. Cats require just as much attention and love as dogs do.
“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”
“Lucia was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to do a meet & greet which eased my mind about a stranger keeping and caring for our aging cat! While we were away, she cared for our Daisy and they even became friends! Lucia was dependable, prompt, respectful, and very professional! I enjoyed her notes and status updates and lots of pictures! Our experience was so good! I would recommend Lucia and River again! When we go out of town again- we will be contacting Lucia!! Daisy says “Hi Lucia!!””
“Erika did a great job dropping in on Scout and Blossom! She was a great communicator and is clearly an animal lover. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others.”
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
“Patty was great! She came to meet our 3 kitties and loved them like they were her own. We had total peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were gone and we recieved tons of pictures during the week! We will 100% have her come again for any future trips!”
About: I have been a pet sitter to several families for several years now. I have had pets my entire life, so I have experienced caring for pets at all stages of their lives. I also worked at Stray Rescue of St. Louis as a caregiver, so I am professionally trained in handling and caring for all sizes and temperaments of animals. I definitely love animals, and I love hanging out with them while their family is away to keep them entertained and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet in the care of someone else can be unsettling and worrisome. My job is to make sure that your pets are safe and happy while you are away, and I am very good at my job.
About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.

“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Casper! When I got home, Casper was so calm and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell he had the most amazing time. Ryan clearly went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged. He was super attentive, reliable, and treated Casper like his own. I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind I had knowing my pup was in such great hands. Highly recommend.”

“Nicol is the BEST! My dog has tons of energy and needs a lot of attention and Nicol is the only sitter I trust for both daycare and boarding. She sends updates and photos throughout the day which I LOVE! My pup is always so excited to see her and comes home happy, fed, and tired from all the playtime and attention. So happy I found her!!! ❤️”

About: **NOTE: Our prices are insane because even though we’ve been puppy sitting for a long time, we just started Rovering and want to make it a no-brainer for you to book with us so we can get off the ground on this site. Get in while the getting’s good!!** I've always had and trained dogs, from Shelties to Akitas, Poms to Huskies—and absolutely love having them around. Our house is known in Sherman Oaks as the “Pawsitive Pack.” My two kiddos are amazing with pups, though I am the sole adult provider responsible for all pet care duties. We have one of our own, a Bull Terrier named Piggie, who gets along with EVERYONE. Looking forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home for a visit! I am able to be very present for any pup we host, as I work from home and am around during the days. The kids love assisting with pet care when they're not at school. Your pupper will be treated like one of our own and get lots of cuddles, exercise, and attention 🦮🦴🥰 Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! We have a fenced yard and safe Piggie-tested home. (She gets into everything haha, so we've made plenty of accommodations!) Your pup will be very happy hanging out here.
About: I am often the friend/family member my people call to pet sit! After a major life event, I have much more flexibility and want to help care for animals. Give them as much joy and love as they give me! I have a full time job but I sadly no longer have pets so I’d love to use any free time or flex time to be around all the fur babies! We often dog sit for my sister’s dogs so we are used to having dogs in the home! I had two cats that I miss so much, so I have a great set up for them!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby. I work from home full time so I’m flexible with your schedule. I like to go on walks about three times a day and walks usually take 20-30 minutes. I will be around to play and attend your dogs needs. I also have lots of dog beds that I have collected over the years to make dogs feel comfortable.
“Super nice guy and Dewey felt comfortable which is a big deal, especially for his first time! When I picked him up he even turned around to look back at Mel and the front door lol. Thank you for your flexibility and kindness to my dog. We’ll be back for doggie care 👍”
“So glad I found Brooke! My dog has a big separation anxiety but she came back happy. She sent me photos and let me know how she was doing while I was away. I feel my pup loved her and I’ll def leave my pup again when I need to!”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They did an amazing job taking care of Archie and kept me updated throughout the entire day. They sent me lots of pictures, which really helped me feel comfortable and reassured while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well taken care of and in good hands. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they were. I would definitely recommend them and would book with them again! 🐶❤️”
“Gluey was able to squeeze my pups in last min. She was super kind when I was rubbing behind on my appointment. She also took super cute pics of the boys. Highly recommend and will use her again.”

About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.
“Lucia was excellent! She was responsive, friendly, and punctual. I hired her to take my 5 month old GSP for a walk with specific needs for timing and location, and she could not have been a better walker to ask. She was easy to communicate with and very prepared. Thank you Lucia!”
“Kyle is a true joy to work with. He is a top notch professional who has taken care of Randy, a very energetic 2-year old Border Collie for the past week. Kyle is punctual, courteous and a huge help to us. Randy comes home from his walk happy and tired out. Kyle is now part of our family and we look forward to many more happy times together!”
“Francisco was great! He is reliable and he is great with dogs! He communicates well and sends pictures of our dogs who always look happy and exercised from their walks. We would definitely reach out to him again! I highly recommend Francisco for your pet caring and dog walking needs.”
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a dependable and caring dog walker who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have over 12 years of experience as a caregiver, where patience, responsibility, safety, and following routines have always been important. I’m also CPR certified and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s individual needs. I love being outdoors and would enjoy giving your dog a safe and enjoyable walk where they can get some exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and starting with small and medium-sized dogs as I continue to build experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, as I personally have a senior Chihuahua who I’ve had since 2011. Having cared for my own senior dog over the years, I understand that older pets may need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more attention to their comfort and needs. You can expect good communication, punctuality, and updates after your dogs walk. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with kindness and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my children are currently in school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day. Dog walking is a great way for me to stay active, busy, and spend time with dogs, which I really enjoy. I currently offer dog walking only. During each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me.
“In the past three weeks or so, Mry has been walking my dog every morning. Since my chocolate lab cannot write the review ( she can do most everything else..) let me just describe my dog’s reaction to Mry: excited anticipation prior to her arrival and a happy “smile” on her face upon returning from her walk! As for me, I cannot say enough about Mry’s Professional and pleasant attitude. She is punctual, tailors the walks to my dog’s ability and daily wants. The daily reports I get from Mry are not the mundane ones but a true and detailed description of my dog’s activities (sniffing, slow or energetic, tired etc.). In short, I recommend Mry in the highest possible terms!”

I’m available on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays, as well as Wednesday through Friday afternoons and evenings. I’m flexible and reliable, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your pet’s schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always ensure a clean, secure space, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of your home and communication is important to me.

“Anastasia has been walking my dog Zoey for a few weeks now. She has been very communicative, flexible where needed, and gone above and beyond .Zoey loves her walks with Anastasia and we’ll love to keep having her back!”
“Absolutely amazing! Darby is so nice and pleasant to talk to. And she treats my two doggos even better than I imagined. I love the amount of communication about how the walks went and how the dogs are behaving while I'm out and about. My two rascals absolutely love her. As a first time user of the app I was concerned about trying this out but I have no regrets and I recommend it to others now. I can relax knowing that Darby is taking care of the kiddos.”

“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”
“Cody is on time and ready to go every time we book him! Finn and Biscuit both love him and he is awesome about working with any request we have or instruction we give. We are excited for future fun times with Cody!”

“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”
About: I have been a pet sitter to several families for several years now. I have had pets my entire life, so I have experienced caring for pets at all stages of their lives. I also worked at Stray Rescue of St. Louis as a caregiver, so I am professionally trained in handling and caring for all sizes and temperaments of animals. I definitely love animals, and I love hanging out with them while their family is away to keep them entertained and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet in the care of someone else can be unsettling and worrisome. My job is to make sure that your pets are safe and happy while you are away, and I am very good at my job.

“We are so relieved to have found Bridgette & Connor in Topanga! Our Micky stayed with them for 8 nights, and we were never worried about him while traveling. Micky made new human and furry friends, and he was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was clear he received plenty of love, attention, and great care throughout his stay. Bridgette sent prompt updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took Micky to the vet to have his paw checked after he started limping before I dropped him off. I was worried, but Bridgette was incredibly caring, reliable, and communicative the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found them and will absolutely trust them with Micky again!”
“I recently moved to the Sherman Oaks area and was so happy that Emma was available at the last minute to help me with watching over my Shih Tzu. I will definitely be reaching out to her again without hesitation! I can definitely count on her!”
“Ashton and Jay are amazing!! It was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. They sent me photo updates throughout Truffles stay and were very communicative. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Christopher was wonderful with my rescue dog who has some separation anxiety. My pup was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and Christopher provided me updates. Would book again.”
“First time using rover and I don’t really know how my dog would react with other sitter. I was pretty amazed how my dog got along pretty quickly with James. Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“I have a senior blind dog and she requires somone who is patient because she can be uneasy with new people. This was my 2nd time ever leaving my dog with a non family member and Alexandra was great. I asked for updates and she would respond quickly. I would definitely use Alexandra again for my Lola.”
“We couldn't be more happy with Julieth and her family. They took care of Eros beyond professional. They were like family to Eros. He definitely had the time of jis life with them. Looots of active exercise, lots of walks, lots of love and lots of pictures and videos and updates. Eros is a big dog and not everyone can handle that, but they loved Eros. And Eros loves them too! Julieth is the right choice for your dog, don't even think about it!”
“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“This was rockets third time staying with Erin and her communication continued to be excellent. This allowed us to relax while on vacation knowing our pup was well cared for while receiving daily photos and updates. Rocket did experience some anxious behavior and Erin was able to relay this and provide him the support he needed. It was out of normal for him but we felt confident that Erin would take care of our baby. We have and would recommend booking with Erin.”
About: One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated. I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner. I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Zues loved his time with Carter. He was treated so well, my mom was afraid he would not want to go home with her. The smile on his face said it all. Cater played with him, sent us pictures. Some great actions shots. Our Zues is very active and loves the attention. Thank you Carter for an amazing week with Zues.”
“Natasha and her family are just the best! It's like my pup has a home away from home and I can't recommend them enough. He is so happy at their house and so well taken care of. I am very grateful to have them nearby and helping me out with my high energy love. Thank you!”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
