“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“SO GREAT! This was POLAR opposite of our very first experience using Rover. SO GLAD WE TRIED ROVER AGAIN! Jie and her family took such good care of our dog. She gave us piece of mind with her responses to our text and photos sent while we were away. A five day stay and what a relief to know our pup was SAFE, loved, being well cared for and looked after. All of the things she says will happen do! When we picked our fur-ball up she was happy and healthy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“She took great care of my two doodles and sent me photos and videos every day. I could tell that the dogs were happy staying with her! She also kept them clean, even after all the walks she had taken them out for. Highly recommend! I'm rebooking her for sure!!”
“Nancy was a great host for my dog. She was very responsive and provided me frequent pictures. She and Toucalit are really nice and my dog looks like he had a great time. Thank you both so much!”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Sriram & family are the best dog sitters we have hired on Rover. Got daily pictures of our dog with smiles on our dogs face. Our dog Dou Dou was completely relaxed and felt at home with Sriram. Highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Mayuri and her husband’s care for our border collie Ketty! Ketty was a little anxious when we first dropped her off, but Mayuri handled it beautifully — a short walk, a gentle introduction to their dog Ramsey, and before long the two were best friends, with Ketty confidently inviting Ramsey to play. It was so heartwarming to see her come out of her shell. Mayuri kept us wonderfully informed throughout the day with timely updates on Ketty’s food, sleep, and play sessions, along with the most adorable photos of Ketty and Ramsey just chilling together. We never once worried. We feel so fortunate to have found Mayuri on Rover. Knowing Ketty is in such loving, attentive hands makes it easy for us to travel. Highly recommend!”
“Namita is just amazing. Always on top of things, able to take in timid pets, and make them feel at home. Very flexible with timing and even with short notices, last minute changes etc. Will go back to her again”
“My dog stayed with Dini for 4 days and had a wonderful stay. He was cared for really well and I received lots of updates and pictures of him. He always looked happy and played a lot with others dogs. He is a picky eater but he ate really well at Dini's. I highly recommend her.”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“We call her Rover's auntie Caddie. Rover loves being with Caddie and her family. She would provides information more than we could ask for while Rover is with her family. Rover is always kept clean, good diet and happy. We highly recommend and we will always be booking Rover with Caddie.”

“Veronica is so wonderful. She took care of our two cats. I was so impressed by her attention to details. After each drop in, she gave detailed notes on what was done (changing water, refilling feeder, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) I was worry-free while away from my house. She very responsive on messages and very kind. Highly recommended.”
“Wow, Myat was absolutely fantastic! We have an older cat and a bunny rabbit, and Myat not only checked in with them and kept them fed, but also spent time playing with them so they were not lonely. Her daily photos were so cute and you could tell the animals were thrilled. Our cat ended up throwing up while we were away, and Myat was kind enough to clean up his vomit and also contacted us to be safe. She also picked up rabbit poop! We did not ask her to do this- she did it because she is incredible. We will 100000000% be booking with Myat again. Book Myat! She’s THE BEST”
“Ashley is wonderful with our senior cat! Ashley leaves detailed reviews and takes lovely pictures. She is sensitive to our cat’s quirky personality and is an effective and prompt communicator. We appreciate her professionalism and attention to detail! We are definitely going to continue to use Ashley’s services for all our cat sitting needs.”
“I was initially apprehensive of leaving Oreo with a sitter, since he's a strong XL dog who can be reactive to other dogs. But I knew he was in safe hands with Su. Su took wonderful care of our dog during her drop in visits, and gave us cute pictures of Oreo with each of her visits. I didn't have to worry at all about Oreo during my trip.”
“Vanderlie did a great job taking care of our Booger. She was very prompt about her appointments with Booger. When we got back from our time away Booger was just as loving as she always is. We will use Vanderlie again in the future if we need to be away again.”
“Siqin did a great job taking care of Beanie, our cat. She provided timely updates, photos and videos throughout the sitting period, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated her attentive and reliable care!”
“Annabelle was my cat sitter while I took a trip with my husband to see my family on the East Coast. We are always worried that our pet will feel stressed and alone. Annabelle was so kind and affectionate to our cat, Olive Oil. She loved him immediately and took good care of him making him feel safe and developing trust immediately. Annabelle was on time everyday, consistently cleaning the litter box, providing food and water, and making sure everything we requested got done. She is very sweet, easy to work with, accommodates the client's needs, and has a lot of knowledge about the care of pets. We highly recommend Annabelle.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 15 years, including cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs.

I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos during visits!
“I was so happy to have Jane to look after my pair of bonded cats. She was extremely dependable and communicative, and I was better able to enjoy my trip knowing she was on the job. Everything went so smoothly and I'm very grateful.”
“Shirley did an amazing job watching our 2 cats!! Our cats quickly warmed up to her and were always happy to see her. Shirley followed the instructions left very well and was always communicative and good about leaving notes and photos. Shirley also went above and beyond and helped us with a package issue during one of the visits. Would definitely book again, thanks so much Shirley!”
About: I've loved animals of all kinds since I was little! I have had turtles, tortoises, bunnies, a chinchilla, and Pascal, the love-of-my-life golden mutt. I was privileged to spend more than 15 amazing years with him and learned about all stages of dog life, including elderly/special needs care. I've also helped friends and family take care of their pets - mostly dogs - when they were away! I work full-time, but loving on animals is the best way to relieve stress at the end of the day and on weekends! I also have Mondays off to spoil your pet! Let me know how to keep your pet safe and happy! Favorite games, toys, treats, walking spots? Is he shy, social? Loves a butt rub? An active fetch sesh? A cozy cuddle? Look no further!

About: Hi there! I'm Sriram, a true dog enthusiast living in sunny Fremont, California. For the past 8 years, I've been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies mastering their first tricks to calm senior pups who need gentle, reliable attention. I've raised and trained our own late family dog, teaching him fun tricks (high-five, roll over, spin—you name it!) and perfecting potty training routines that make life easier for everyone. I've also provided dedicated care for several senior dogs, including administering timely medications on strict schedules, monitoring their comfort, and ensuring they get soft, low-impact play and lots of cuddles. Dogs aren't just pets to me—they're family members, and I treat every pup who stays with me the same way I'd want my own cared for. This isn't about the money for me; it's pure passion. I get so much joy from watching a dog's tail wag when I walk through the door, seeing them learn something new, or simply relaxing together after a good adventure. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs long walks, or prefers a quieter day with puzzle toys and belly rubs, I'll tailor their stay to their needs and routine. Working from home full-time allows me to provide your pet with constant attention, including frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and on-schedule feedings. Your dog will also enjoy daily exercise at the beautiful park located right outside my front door. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I offer a fenced-in single-family home with constant backyard access, full camera monitoring, and 24/7 personal supervision.
“I would definitely recommend Dini and Ajay. The place is spacious and safe. She sent photos of our dog to let me know she was doing well. Our dog definitely had a good playtime there☺️🐶”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“My puppy Zen had a fabulous day with Jaimie and Chewie! Jaimie was very kind and communicative from the start. She took great care of Zen and kept me informed throughout his stay. So happy to have met her and Chewie! Thank you!”

“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
“I feel very lucky to have found and engaged Ram and Jaya for doggie day care. They are nice people with big hearts for dogs: it was clear throughout our interactions that they understood and focused on my senior dog's needs. They took the time to get to know her, and made sure that they could provide a safe and comfortable place for her to stay while I attended an event. Their home is uncluttered with a lovely backyard; plenty of space for doggie movements. Communication was prompt, clear and helpful. I hope to contact them again for future needs.”

I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos during visits!
“Justin was great with my Belgian Malinois, Peanut. He arrived on time, was very patient, and listened carefully to all instructions. I appreciated how attentive and calm he was during the walk. Peanut seemed comfortable with him right away. Would definitely book again! In fact, I'm booking him again right now.”

About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given. They'll enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and all the cuddles they desire. 📢Why Choose Me? ⭐️ Constant Companionship: As someone who works from home, I provide near-constant supervision and company, ensuring your pet feels secure and never lonely. ⭐️ Proven Patience & Love: Having raised a dog to 18 years, I have a deep well of patience and understanding for every personality and need. ⭐️Seamless Communication: I am fluent in both English and Chinese（中文）, ensuring clear, easy, and worry-free updates for you. ⭐️ A Ready, Dog-Safe Home: My home is quiet, safe, and ready to welcome your pet without the stress of other resident animals. My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.
“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”
About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I would be happy to take care of your pet. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids and we always had animals around. We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of. I know going away can be hard not only for the pet but for the owner as well and I will always strive to make sure both are reassured and comfortable. Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.
About: I’ve grown up with and cared for multiple dogs of different breeds and personalities, including Shiba Inus, German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Golden Retrievers. Through my personal experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog’s unique energy level, temperament, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ dogs, including pit bulls and other large or high energy breeds, so I’m comfortable and confident with a wide variety of dogs. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly love being around animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. As a college athlete, I already have a very active lifestyle, so incorporating pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to staying organized and managing my time around training, classes, and responsibilities, which makes me very reliable and consistent with scheduling. Because I’m active, I can easily include walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. My flexible routine allows me to adjust as needed for pet care visits, whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I enjoy staying on the move, so caring for dogs and getting them outside for exercise fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special needs, and always make sure pets are supervised and secure. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and treat every pet like my own. My goal is to build trust through dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Mumu! I’ve been passionate about animals all my life and never pass up a chance to hang out with a puppy or kitty. I have years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter (starting from high school), taking care of friends’ and my boyfriend’s dogs, and more recently, adopting my own two lovely kitties. I believe our connections with our pets lie in positive reinforcement, gaining trust, and listening to their boundaries. I’m experienced in taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, giving basic commands and rewarding them with treats, and generally making sure they’re having fun. I’m also experienced in taking care of cats, reading their body language, and keeping them happy. Whether your pet needs feeding, medications, or cuddles, I’m committed to taking care of your pet’s every need. I believe in open and clear communication, so that you can rest easy knowing they’re being well-cared-for. I'm currently part-time working from home and studying for the LSAT, so my schedule is fairly flexible! Mornings, afternoons, and even nights are doable as long as we communicate about what's needed. I always make sure to know where food and medicine is stored, as well as toys, leashes, etc. I will always bring doggy bags and treats on walks. I can send photos and videos for every session, so that you always know what's going on.

“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“She took great care of my two doodles and sent me photos and videos every day. I could tell that the dogs were happy staying with her! She also kept them clean, even after all the walks she had taken them out for. Highly recommend! I'm rebooking her for sure!!”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Emma is a great dog sitter who takes amazing care of all dogs. She is very caring and understanding to all dogs and makes them feel at home. Emma is the perfect dog sitter!”
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“Stephen watched my dog Zuko for the second time and my other dog nori for the first! He updated me with photos and we had a great meet and greet. He’s definitely my go to dog sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town.”
“Our dog is very shy and usually not at ease with new people. Jaimie welcomed him and he was immediately comfortable with her. Jaimie sent several great pictures of our and her dog. The biggest plus we can give is that after we went for a walk in her neighborhood, our dog immediately wanted to go back to her place where we parked.”
“Margaret exceeded all expectations! So happy and thankful to have found her. Our girl Juniper is sensitive and can be nervous around new people but she really bonded with Margaret. It was a great experience for her!”
“Bagheera had very good care with Jess and Kimmy. Their big fenced yard and friendly dog made him comfortable, and he became attached to Kimmy! I will definitely ask them to care for my little sweetie again!”
“Jifu and his wife took very good care of our dog for 4 nights. He was fed on time and per our requests. Daily updates and photos. They even put a tag on his harness to be extra cautious. Their dog Joky is also super friendly. I hope that we can book them in our next trip!”
“Jax enjoyed his stay at Paw Vivant! I was super nervous to find a new sitter since I just moved to the area but Elise really made it easy while I was away with lots of pictures and updates. Super detailed oriented to Jax’s specific care needs. Jax will be back soon :)”
“Esala and Tiffanie took excellent care of Archie. They took him on long walks and hikes and kept him occupied throughout his week long stay. They even supervised his play time with their dog Penny and Lucy (the other dog they were sitting) to ensure his comfort. I received daily photos and video check ins. They are super prompt in their responses. They kept up with his grooming (hair and teeth brushing). I’m grateful for their care and would happily board Archie with them in the future.”
