“Rover / Laura & Brian After a last minute rescheduling, we needed to find a trustworthy sitter for our fur-babies. However no family or friends were available on such short notice of only a few weeks, leaving us worried and cornered into venturing to find a stranger to watch the most important things we love… our quiet 10 yr old 12 lb Pomchi, and goofy 80 lb Boxer/Staffy. Having 2 pups that are so different, but so GOOD and SPECIAL makes it so hard to find someone that WE feel can understand and appreciate their precious personalities. After Laura & Brian we’re gracious enough to allow us to introduce the pups to them beforehand (On Dodger Day, no less!), we found our boys to not only be comfortable, but excited! Laura explained how they watch and protect the little one, while also being completely capable with handling my goofy Boxer. Brian came out and my boxer who can be protective, immediately realized he was safe. During our trip we received photos and videos of our boys having the best week vacation, with new fur-friends and human-family. Feeling confident with a family we had just met with our babies was just an absolute blessing. When we came back to pick our babies up, not only did they not want to immediately leave, but Bowzer showed signs of guarding his “new family”. 😭🤣😅 Being able to trust strangers, LAST MINUTE that are so sweet and attentive to our babies was such a blessing/lucky/whatever you want to say. My dogs are my life. While leaving them is never easy, Laura and Brian made it as easy as possible. I think that we can start feeling more confident when we need to have our babies watched, and we are so so thankful!!! 💜👾🙏🏼”
“It was my first time leaving Artie with someone new for an extended period, and Nadege and Camille were wonderful. I knew he was in good hands after meeting them, and I got pictures everyday showing how at-home he was with them. I’m thrilled to have found them and look forward to me next time ❤️.”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“I would give a ten star review if I could. Fantastic family, so caring and compassionate towards animals, especially my old dog, Lady. She has never been left with a sitter before. When I checked around too many places offered to keep her in a crate but she has never been crated before so we did not want that. With this family she had the run of the house and yard and slept on their bed at night which she does at home. My only fear was that at the end of her stay she would not want to leave. But she was glad to come home and during my trip I had peace of mind and no worries that she was in good hands. Highly recommend this family to take care of your dog. I will when I travel again!”
About: Hi! I’m Hiro, originally from Japan and living in Los Angeles for over 20 years. As a work-from-home pet parent to a six-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. Your dog will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving experience with plenty of attention and regular photo updates for your peace of mind. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and daycare needs. I offer drop-in visits and walks from your home. Daycare and overnight guests require a meet-and-greet with my mini Goldendoodle to ensure a good match. My single-family home is in a gated community and has a secure, double-fenced yard with artificial grass for safe potty breaks. I carefully follow each dog’s routine and provide calm, attentive care. Dogs staying in my home must be up to date on required vaccinations and flea and tick prevention.
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs! I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup, providing extra patience and care for senior dogs, or giving a nervous dog time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m also comfortable with administering medications when needed and making sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and, most importantly, lots of love! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for dogs throughout the day. I’m able to give them lots of attention, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I live in a comfortable apartment in a quiet, residential area that’s perfect for daily walks and getting some fresh air. There’s also a dog park nearby for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing, as long as it’s a good fit for their personality and comfort level. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in their home and will always follow their usual routines, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable!
“Nina was absolutely amazing with Kasper! From the moment I left him, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She kept him happy, entertained, and constantly engaged with play and attention. It truly felt like she cared for him as if he were her own dog. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Kasper came home clearly content and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would 100% trust Nina with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Armando was very quick to respond and did a great job with our puppy Haku! We could tell Haku had a great time and was very calm and comfortable in Armando’s presence. Armando’s yard is also very well kept and spacious. We will definitely book again!”
“Once again, Frida had a blast with Amorn and Adam. I can tell these two just have big hearts for dogs. Frida gets treated like the princess she so clearly thinks she is. I also love that she's getting to meet and play with other dogs. Thanks again for your time and care and the great pics and communication. Will see you next time.”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog, Mila. Mila wakes up very early and needs extra attention, and Barbara was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I felt comfortable knowing Mila was in good hands. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Candy to watch our dog, Roscoe while we were away on vacation. Roscoe is a bit picky when it comes to bigger dogs and strangers but Candy was able to handle it really well and after a couple of days, he was happily playing with the other dogs. Candy is also very easy to reach and will always respond to messages, which is a big plus =) ”
About: I adore animals and love making them feel safe and happy. I’ve always been surrounded by pets. I’m warm, caring, and great at comforting shy or sensitive animals so they feel loved and safe. I believe every pet deserves kindness, gentle care and someone who truly pays attention to their needs. have a flexible work schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. Your pet will always get reliable, attentive care from me. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space with everything needed to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. I follow your rules, and if your pet is allowed on the bed or couch at home, they’re welcome to do the same here. I create a safe, warm environment where pets can rest, play, and feel completely at ease.
“Basilio is a great dog watcher. Had some great advice for us to use at home with our little guy. Always responded via text and sent pictures of our boy Cookie. We will definitely use Basilio again and recommend.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Ashton is a five-star dog sitter. My family friend cancelled at the last minute for a weekend trip. Ashton responded promptly to my request. She agreed to a friendly outdoor meet up. While I was nervous about the idea of leaving my pup behind, Ashton eased my worries by asking all the right questions. She made sure to learn my dog’s routine and habits. She sent me daily updates including pictures and was responsive to any questions or update requests while I was gone. When I picked up Ollie, I could tell my pup enjoyed his stay with Ashton. I would 10/10 recommend her services and definitely will be using her for any future sitting needs.”
“Such an amazing person to work with! Made everything so easy especially with my dog who has some behavioral problems! Never had an experience so easy and helpful. Thank you for being wonderful and highly recommend booking with Ofelia! My pup came back in such a fantastic mood. :-)”

About: I've cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I have two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it's feeding, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual preferences and routines.
About: Hi I currently am an aunt to a cute grey tabi who I named Booboo with a sassy personality but grew up with large dogs in the home.

I’m great at following any directions and will treat your pets as if they were my own

I now have 1 cat named luna, she is 1 year old & spayed. I’m a pet sitter for family & friends, but i’ve now decided I have enough experience to care for other peoples pets. I am on my 2nd year of college and am trying to have a little side hustle. Hoping to get lots of experience and meet new babies!

About: Hi there! I'm Joanna. I have experience in training puppies as well as watching over senior dogs. I can say I have a lot of patience and I understand how some dogs can be timid at first, but no worries I'm here to help bring out their confidence! I have always spent my time with dogs from a very young age. My dogs enjoy it when we go out for a hike, walk, or play dates at the dog park and I can definitely provide that for you if requested. Trust is one of the most important things and I know I will be able to provide that for you and your fur baby. I am a full-time student, but since the classes I'm taking are online, I can still be attentive to your fur baby at any moment! I currently only live with my small-sized dog, Archie. He is super friendly and enjoys going on walks, especially when he walks with other dogs. I understand how important they are in our lives and I definitely consider my dogs as my children so I would treat your pets just as how I would treat mine! I understand how every dog is different and they have different routines, but booking with an experienced dog sitter will ensure they get their needs met while giving you peace of mind!
About: I have experience looking after kittens, as I own one myself and occasionally look after my friends' kittens. I should mention that my English is at an intermediate level, so I often can't converse much with the owners, but if necessary—and if I don't understand something—I use a translator.
About: I have grown up alongside cats and have been working with animals of all types for years. We even foster animals, such as cats, like the one in the photo. So I understand the importance of taking care of a pet because we see them as our baby.
About: Your cat will be wrapped in love every second they’re with me! 🐾🐱 I care for every kitty like they’re part of my own family—with gentle attention, cozy cuddle sessions (if they’re into that!), playtime, and all the love their heart can hold. 💕 With over 2 years of professional experience at a pet boarding facility and more than a decade of rescuing and raising animals, I’m confident caring for cats of all ages and personalities. At home, I’m a proud cat parent to a sassy feline who keeps me on my toes as well as three needy pups! so I understand the unique needs of our independent, quirky, and sometimes particular fur babies. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra TLC, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands with me.💕
About: I’m a proud cat parent to five beautiful kitties and a kitty advocate! My experience ranges from managing my own indoor/outdoor cats to independently rescuing and nursing fragile street kittens back to health using my own resources when I was younger.I know exactly what it takes to earn a cat's trust, keep them healthy, and give them the specific care and attention they need.
About: Hi! I’m Alexis. I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have 5 of my own, so I understand all the different personalities they can have—from super cuddly lap cats to the independent ones who act like they don’t care (but secretly do). I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I always take my time with them and let them come to me on their own terms. Whether your cat wants playtime, treats, gentle attention, or just someone to sit nearby and keep them company, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience caring for cats with medical needs and giving medications when needed, so I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and routines if your cat requires a little extra care. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat feels calm, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own, with patience, love, and lots of respect for their space and personality.

“Laura was the sweetest!! Kept me updated throughout the day and sent photos which is so great! Definitely recommend taking your babies to her, they will be in great hands ◡̈”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have also had my own Yorkie Terrier I cared for with much love. I know what it’s like to care for and own a dog and I will make your dog feel at home and treat them as if they were my own fur baby. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animals anytime since it’s summer!! I’m free most weekends days except Thursdays and Sundays 8am-12pm. Some weekends depending!! I have a small front area they could go pee at when it’s late at night or even early in the mornings. They will be taken on walks twice a day and given the nutrients they need including water, treats, and dog food.
“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“Chico had an absolutely wonderful time! So excited he wanted to go right back with Karn to play with the other doggies again. He was nice and tired from all the playing.”
“Thank you thank you thank you! Natalie was amazing with my dogs even the shy one of the bunch! Definitely would recommend and will definitely use her services again! ??”
“Another awesome stay for Chili! Updates throughout the day were great and they even found a toy for Chili that she couldn't destroy! Chili is already looking to schedule her next stay. Thanks again guys!”
“What can I say about Mary Ann that hasn’t been said before? She is absolutely wonderful and really cares for your pet. I was anxious to leave my puppy but we did a meet and greet first and that went very well. The day of actual care, I was still anxious (but that’s me being overprotective) heard my baby bark and I almost turned around but then I heard Mary Ann talking to her and I didn’t hear her bark anymore. Mary Ann really loves pets. I received regular updates and pics to let me know how she was doing. My baby had a huge smile in each pic. Even when I picked her up you could tell she was happy to see me but kept wanting to go back to Mary Ann. ? I am definitely going to use Mary Ann again. Couldn’t ask for a better person.”
“Our dogs LOVES Alexandra! They were lucky enough to go hang out with her at her beautiful home with a huge yard with her and her husband. They had lots of fun and were so well cared for and well loved! I got lots of photos of them throughout their stay which I loved! So happy we found her and will absolutely utilize her service in the future!”
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
“Marcelo and his wife provided exceptional care for my dog, Tobie. Despite Tobie's initial protectiveness and territorial behavior, they persevered, demonstrating consistent effort and understanding. They remained undeterred by his attempts to withdraw or display warning signals. Consequently, Tobie acclimated to their presence quickly. I received a text message confirming his well-being shortly after departing. Upon my return, Tobie showed reluctance to leave, even glancing back to see if Marcelo's wife was accompanying us. I highly recommend their services, particularly for owners of protective dogs. Their patience and commitment to ensuring Tobie's comfort were truly commendable.”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
“Bonn is an amazing sitter! So accommodating of my needs and those of Junie B! Highly recommend his services! I can tell he cares very much about the care he provides for his clients.”

“Skye walked my dog today, she did a great job. My dog was very comfortable with her and she let my dog stop and smile the flowers lol. She was well prepared with water and treats, I will book her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I pet sit for family & friends, and i’ve decided to start taking care of other peoples pets because it’s something that I love and enjoy! I am a kitten foster, I work with a rescue and have taken care of 7+ newborn kittens that were going to be euthanized. I love doing this not just as a job but as a hobby ☺️ I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am an overthinker so I always think about the worst case scenarios and do my best to avoid anything 😭 Besides that I am on my second year of college looking for a side hustle! If you have any concerns Ive probably researched it 99% of the time, so feel free to ask :) I have 1 cat (indoors & outdoor) and fenced back yard. Accommodations for your pets are available if they are not good with other animals. I have plenty of free time for play time. I enjoy going on walks and exploring nature.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 6! I’m extremely comfortable around all kinds of pets, having previously owned dogs, cats, small rodents and snakes. I also used to work overnight at a dog daycare and am comfortable handling various breeds and all ages of dogs. I am also okay with senior pets since I have one myself! Due to that, I’m experienced with handling medicine and sticking to a routine. I’m used to oral and topical medication but am willing to learn any other sorts to take care of your loved one! I’m currently a student who creates her own work schedule so I will make sure to have all the time needed to take care of your pet! When i do have classes, I will be sure to make my availability known.
About: What sets me apart is my experience handling multiple pets at once while still making sure each one gets individual attention and care. I’ve cared for several dogs and cats together in the same household, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like leash manners, sit, stay, and good behavior during walks and feeding time. I also genuinely love going on long walks, so high-energy dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need, not just a quick potty break. Above all, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and treating them like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time gigs after moving cross country in mid-2025 and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make many times work and am able to sleep over or drop in as needed. I make sure to prioritize safety by anticipating potential dangers. My past experience as a daycare teacher has given me eyes on the back of my head and readiness for issues or safety concerns. I make sure spaces remain safe and comfortable for your pet and respect your guidelines and routines.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds.

What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to connect with animals quickly, making them feel safe and cared for in any situation.

About: I'm a young active college student that used to have a dog. He was very large so I'm very aware of how to handle all types. I truly will work on tending to your needs and being a security guard I'm very good with following directions. I truly loving and playful, I'm not one to disappoint. With that being said I'm truly flexible with dogs needs and everyday care, I will put on active wear if we need to run or walk and I'm a protector, so I would treat them like my very own. My mother has taught me that updates are the most comforting thing so if that's what you need to know your dog is safe a text takes 2 min out of our play time.
About: Enthusiast of animals and have worked alongside them for years in volunteering and fostering. I even have my own pets so I understand the importance of training puppies and kittens and understand how important our babies can be to us. I work alongside the schedule that you guys give me! I find it easy to put time in my day to take care of your babies. My dog is young and has a bunch of energy, where else my cats are the opposite. So I understand being able to give them a health balance of time outside and time playing as well as nap time and time where they can chose to rest.

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and commitment that pets need every day. If you know me, you know I’m the person who gets excited every time I see a dog on a walk or a cat lounging outside. I’m always the first one asking if I can pet a dog, and I never pass by a stray animal without trying to make sure it has food, water, or a little kindness. My love for animals is genuine, and spending time with them never feels like a job to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my own pets when they’ve been sick. Whenever one of my cats or dogs needed medication, special care, or extra attention, I was usually the one making sure they got what they needed. Because of this, I’m comfortable following care instructions and being patient with pets who may need a little extra support. In addition to my experience with animals, I work in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to pay attention to details, follow routines, and provide quality care—skills that I bring with me when caring for pets as well. I’m often the go-to pet sitter for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work night shift, which means my days are usually free and very flexible. Because of that, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to walking, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets during the day. I actually love that my schedule allows me to be fully present when I’m caring for animals—I’m not rushing between work or distracted by a 9–5 schedule. I can give pets my full attention, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. My routine also makes it easy for me to be consistent and reliable with scheduling. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and working odd hours, so I’m very organized and good at sticking to care instructions and time-sensitive routines. Overall, my flexible daytime availability makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle, and I really enjoy being able to spend that time doing something I genuinely love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent and familiar for them. I approach every visit with patience and calm energy, letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending quiet time together, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. If a pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, or special care needs, I make sure everything is done exactly as requested. I have experience administering medications and caring for pets with extra medical needs, so I’m comfortable handling those responsibilities with care and reliability. While I’m in the home, I also make sure everything stays clean, respectful, and as you left it. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands and your home is being respected. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique personality.
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 16 years old, starting with small animals and rodents. I got my first dog, Haku, 4 years ago, and I have been obsessed ever since. I have experience with both larger dogs and small dogs, and would love to get to know yours! At the moment, I'm available full time for your pet. I am currently in an online Masters program full time, so I am able to work with your schedule. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they are my own. I believe in open and transparent communication, so you'll receive regular updates on your pet's wellbeing while you're away.

About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible. Sending pictures and/or videos to make you feel like your little ones are still with you and that you haven't missed a beat!

“Rover / Laura & Brian After a last minute rescheduling, we needed to find a trustworthy sitter for our fur-babies. However no family or friends were available on such short notice of only a few weeks, leaving us worried and cornered into venturing to find a stranger to watch the most important things we love… our quiet 10 yr old 12 lb Pomchi, and goofy 80 lb Boxer/Staffy. Having 2 pups that are so different, but so GOOD and SPECIAL makes it so hard to find someone that WE feel can understand and appreciate their precious personalities. After Laura & Brian we’re gracious enough to allow us to introduce the pups to them beforehand (On Dodger Day, no less!), we found our boys to not only be comfortable, but excited! Laura explained how they watch and protect the little one, while also being completely capable with handling my goofy Boxer. Brian came out and my boxer who can be protective, immediately realized he was safe. During our trip we received photos and videos of our boys having the best week vacation, with new fur-friends and human-family. Feeling confident with a family we had just met with our babies was just an absolute blessing. When we came back to pick our babies up, not only did they not want to immediately leave, but Bowzer showed signs of guarding his “new family”. 😭🤣😅 Being able to trust strangers, LAST MINUTE that are so sweet and attentive to our babies was such a blessing/lucky/whatever you want to say. My dogs are my life. While leaving them is never easy, Laura and Brian made it as easy as possible. I think that we can start feeling more confident when we need to have our babies watched, and we are so so thankful!!! 💜👾🙏🏼”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“Armando was very quick to respond and did a great job with our puppy Haku! We could tell Haku had a great time and was very calm and comfortable in Armando’s presence. Armando’s yard is also very well kept and spacious. We will definitely book again!”
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Candy to watch our dog, Roscoe while we were away on vacation. Roscoe is a bit picky when it comes to bigger dogs and strangers but Candy was able to handle it really well and after a couple of days, he was happily playing with the other dogs. Candy is also very easy to reach and will always respond to messages, which is a big plus =) ”
“Basilio is a great dog watcher. Had some great advice for us to use at home with our little guy. Always responded via text and sent pictures of our boy Cookie. We will definitely use Basilio again and recommend.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Ashton is a five-star dog sitter. My family friend cancelled at the last minute for a weekend trip. Ashton responded promptly to my request. She agreed to a friendly outdoor meet up. While I was nervous about the idea of leaving my pup behind, Ashton eased my worries by asking all the right questions. She made sure to learn my dog’s routine and habits. She sent me daily updates including pictures and was responsive to any questions or update requests while I was gone. When I picked up Ollie, I could tell my pup enjoyed his stay with Ashton. I would 10/10 recommend her services and definitely will be using her for any future sitting needs.”
“Such an amazing person to work with! Made everything so easy especially with my dog who has some behavioral problems! Never had an experience so easy and helpful. Thank you for being wonderful and highly recommend booking with Ofelia! My pup came back in such a fantastic mood. :-)”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”
“Aimee went above and beyond to help me with my dog Kobe and made sure his stay was as comfortable as possible! She set up a meet and greet to ensure our dogs were a good match and gave me a tour of the space. She took great care of my dog even when he was scared by the 4th of July fireworks. On top of that she was willing to keep him for a bit extra when I ran into car troubles on my way back from my trip. I can’t put into words how thankful I am to Aimee and her husband for taking great care of my baby while I was away”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Olga and her fam was great with Shiro. When I dropped him off you can tell he felt at home. He loved playing with her two young children and Grandparents were also there and helped out with Shiro. Very nice people. There was plenty of supervision. Olga has a nice spacious backyard for Shiro to run around or just lay down and chill. Will definitely recommend if looking for a nice and trustworthy family to leave our precious furbabies.”
“Very caring and willing to make sure we were comfortable dropping off our pet's first stay. Very much appreciated the outreach and first meet before the booking. Highly recommend for first time Rover Boarders! Made us feel secure the entire stay!”
“Nicole was great with Frankie! Frankie was recovering from kennel cough when she stayed with Nicole and she was great about keeping me updated and giving Frankie her medication. Punctual, easy to communicate with, and Frankie was happy and exhausted when I picked her up!”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”
“Amazing dog boarding very communicative and caring. Received news, photos and videos on how my dog was doing every day. Was really lovely and reassuring. Would book again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve been taking care of every size and aged dog since I was 6. I am perfected at playing any animal game and I have a pool your doggo can swim in! I will obviously go in with them. And if they just need a good cuddle, I’m their girl! It is a ritual. I treat them like they are my child. Every day is about them, me, and my family. Love is there. Thanks I spoil my animals (in a healthy way of course). I give them what they need whenever I can. I lay on the ground with them if needed as well. And I LOVE it if they sleep on my bed with me at night!
