“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our love bug. Great communication. Great updates on his walks, eating habits, nap times, and play times. We love that he gets socialized with other pups. Drop off and pickup was easy and smooth. Highly recommend. Great sitters.”
“Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!”
“Roger loved staying with Kelly! He came home so happy, well-fed, and clean!! Kelly has a true love for animals and it shows. She provided us with updates, photos, and videos and they were a treat! Highly recommend :)”
“Danielle was awesome! I would highly recommend. This was ours and Chili’s first Rover experience and it went exceptionally well. He loved Danielle and her dogs. He got comfortable very quickly and seemed so happy on hikes with the other dogs. We got tons of updates and photos of chili at doggy camp. Danielle is so experienced and even had recommendations for us on how to train his reactivity.”
“There are several reasons why Tricia was a great sitter besides just that she seems like a really great person and animal lover- she responded in a timely matter to all our communications, she gave me daily updates with lots of pictures of my pup, she worked from home so I didn't to have to worry about him during the day, our trip was delayed and she was flexible in letting me pick him up late, and lastly she right along the way for us to the airport. Will definitely be reach out to Tricia next time we need a sitter!”
“Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.”
“Madeleine was again a great sitter for our very high anxiety dog. She made him feel right at home snuggled under the blankets and soaking up the sun! Always friendly, flexible, and punctual!”
“I had a very positive experience with Chen boarding my pup Bernie for a few days. Bernie is a well behaved dog, but he has a few needs that Chen took on willingly. He also took the time to meet with me and Bernie ahead to make sure all his needs were understood. It is clear to me that Chen loves pets and treats them with care. He sent me many updates reflecting his attention to Bernie's comfort and sense of feeling at home and with family. He also sent many stellar photos. Chen has a real talent there and I think also shows his adoration of the pets he cares for. Chen and his family were kind and warm to me and to Bernie and I reccomend him for you.”
“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”
“Leonard truly came through for us on a last-minute trip out of town. A devoted dog person through and through, he kept us updated with photos and was incredibly communicative. His care and attention made him our favorite dogsitter to date. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and again!”
“I’m very grateful to have found Lee on Rover! Her yard/house setup is perfect for caring for smaller dogs, and it’s clear that she is a dog person through and through. Sam stayed the weekend with her and had a great time. I have never left him with anyone that isn’t family before. Sam is older and has anxiety. Lee was great at communicating and sent many updates. I was happy to see that Sam came out of his shell and made a friend while he was there! We will definitely be back.”
“Stephanie was so great with our (very) anxious senior dog. Lots of enrichment activities and walks, and very patient, with excellent communication and a relaxed, knowledgeable vibe.”
“Mariola is such a sweetheart. She is great at communicating and our pups look like they had the best time with her. Mariola sent us pics everyday and let us know exactly how our dogs were doing. If we weren’t moving we would have Mariola be our Rover all the time!”
“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊”
“Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”
“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”

About: I lived with and cared for my roommate's cat for two years, and I have been helping care for my parents' cats for the last four years in addition to other pet sitting gigs. Whether your cat is shy or cuddly, I'll respect his or her space or give them the cuddles or play they love.
About: I absolutely adore cats and have two of my own, Rosie and Alice! My family and friends have always known that I would be more than happy to take care of their kitties whenever they need, starting at the age of 10. I love both playing with easily trusting kitties and winning the love (or at least ambivalence) of mean, grouchy old cats too.
About: I've loved cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had cats, and I learned early on that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and way of showing affection. In 2014, I adopted my cat Momo, who became my constant companion for nearly 12 years. He had such a big impact on my life that he eventually became the inspiration for much of my artwork and the creative business I run today. Caring for Momo through every stage of life gave me extensive hands-on experience with feeding routines, enrichment, grooming, veterinary visits, medications, and senior cat care. During his later years and medical treatments, I learned the importance of patience, observation, and paying attention to subtle changes in behavior and health. As a home-based artist, I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, companionship, playtime, feeding, medication support, and regular updates. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I will take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Our cats regular sitter was unable to care for our cats on Thanksgiving and the day before and after. Thankfully, we found Cindy and Cesar. My cats are extremely shy and I was amazed to see one of my cats coming out and interacting with Cindy and Cesar after only a few days.”
“Kevin is wonderful and super kind! There was continuous dialogue and I appreciate Kevin’s patience and follow through! Definitely looking forward to working with Kevin again the future!”
“Joyce is the perfect sitter for your cat! Our cat doesn’t often take to new people well and immediately was friendly and played with her. She communicates thoroughly and also takes amazing photos.”
“I am thrilled that Lauren approached my very shy kitty and somehow made quick friends. Lauren is responsible, responsive, and has a gift with putting pets at ease. They are also very kind and easy to talk to. I hope to seek their help again with check-ins.”
“Jennifer took fantastic care of our cat Marty while we’re were gone for seven days over the holidays. She is very wonderful in every way; on time, responsible, and so sweet to our pet. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Marian was absolutely amazing watching and feeding our three kitties during our trip! She gave us daily updates and photos, made sure everyone’s needs were met and then some!”
“Ayanna was the perfect pick for my boy’s first Rover! She provided many excellent photos and videos with each visit along with details on his mood, energy level, what he was up to, etc. She was super friendly, easy going, and just as chill as my old man. Highly recommend her stellar sitting services!”
“Charlotte did an amazing job with our cat Ginger during our time away. Very clear and quick communication about anything we needed to know and she was sooo great with our little cat Ginger. Ginger is very needy and she clearly got all the attention she deserves when Charlotte would visit. We even need to come pet her in the living room now because well, that’s how Charlotte did it! Very grateful for her expertise and true passion for animals and will absolutely rebook if we are heading out of town again!”
“Wonderful job watching my cat!! She was so communicative with me and sent photos and when I got home my kitty was so happy and the house was clean:) highly recommend!!! Would absolutely be booking again”
“It was so nice to know Eva was in good hands while I was out of town. Christine sent photos and updates every day on how she was doing. She played and snuggled with her and gave treats (Eva’s favorite). When I came home from my trip Eva was happy and relaxed so I know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Christine!”
“Emilia-Laura did a great job through and through! She communicated really well before and during the sit, and got along great with my cat. My kitty is pretty shy but from the meet and greet I could already tell they were vibing :) I came back from my trip to a happy cat and house in order! Thanks again Emilia-Laura!”
“Patrick took great care of both of our cats, one of whom is diabetic. He has a very gentle demeanor and was great about communicating throughout his visits. I’d happily recommend him to anyone!”
“Laura was amazing. Our two furbabies barely noticed that we were gone, and with all the cute photos that Laura sent, we could tell they were in good hands. Would definitely work with Laura again.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing!!! She took the best care of my baby boy, Haku, while I was away and went above and beyond to ensure he was loved and cared for. 🥰 She cared and played with him like her own and it definitely eased my mind knowing she was so attentive. Even when my timed feeder malfunctioned she came within the hour (and early) to check on him and helped me troubleshoot the issue. (Thank you again!!) She even left him a little present of toys and some treats in a goody bag as a departing gift! I can’t recommend her enough to watch your little one while you are away. I’ll definitely be asking her again to check on my little love when needed. 🤗❤️”
About: Thankfully I grew up with cats. I had the pleasure of having littermates in my family for 10yrs. I love matching a cat’s energy. So as long as I understand the cat’s temperament, we’ll be good.

“We could not have asked for a better first Rover experience! Alisson was attentive to our dog's needs and made him feel welcome in her home - enough to fall asleep on her lap! She was very communicative and flexible and would definitely recommend for your doggy daycare needs”
“Alejandra is a fantastic sitter! We picked up our little girl happy and jolly after a day with her. I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly. If you want to have piece of mind about your dog knowing they'll be safe while having a great time, Alejandra is your sitter!”
“Latricia is the best! Pika has been at her place quite a few times and was happy every time he went! He also became good buddies with Latricia’s dog Prince. She would send me awesome pictures of Pika without me asking so I know he’s having a blast there!”
“Loved all the photos!! Matthew and Van Joseph were so patient and caring with my nervous gal. It was obvious that Ramona felt comfortable there - she’s been super leash reluctant, but they got her to go on 2 walks during daycare!! Huge success. They were super communicative and great. Can’t wait to bring Ramona back and watch her settle in even more :)”
About: $40 promo code for new Rover bookings. I'm new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I've trained my rescue dog Storm, using positive reinforcement methods, to be my service dog. He has a therapeutic effect on nervous dogs, and has helped socialize many cats to become dog lovers. I've been a part of many dogs training protocols, and am now exploring becoming a trainer myself! Take advantage of my low fees while I build my profile. I keep your little buddies entertained in ways that meet them at their level, whether it's long hikes, lazing in some grass, or playing with toys at home. I'm here to make you and your furry friend feel comfortable. ***Bonus*** you'll get some adorable pet pics whenever they stay in my care! I work from home most days, so I'm available to be a companion to your pet right off the bat! My work breaks are spent playing, training, and giving out treats! We like a house full of enrichment activities, with plenty of time for naps and cuddles in between. I have a 2br apartment that offers plenty of communal or private lounge space. It's been useful for boarding multiple animals, seperating eating as needed, quarantining for medical reasons, or just offering a shy animal their own quiet space. There are steps to my apartment and it's helpful if your dog is comfortable with stairs, or is 15lbs or under and can be carried. I live in a low traffic quiet neighborhood near a lot of parks and pretty outdoor spaces for walks. And there is some great bird and squirrel watching from the balcony doors.
“Nati watched Nora recently and took great care of her. She took Nora out on a few walks, and was thoughtful, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. The entire experience was easy and reassuring and I'll definitely be booking w/ her again for longer/overnight stays.”
“Tamara is wonderful with my pup. She’s flexible which works great with my schedule. Ruby loves going to her & her dog Finn. We’re happy to be repeat customers.”
“Nasreddine and her bf were friendly and efficient with the drop off and return! Both dogs only stayed a couple hours but seemed to enjoy their time with their hosts! Above all, Nasreddine was SO understanding, flexible, and accommodating. My dogs escaped that morning and it was a flurry of whether I needed to cancel or not. Luckily, they came back after their little adventure and Nasreddine was happy to watch them even after all the chaos. Thank yooou!!”
“Azar is such a great dog sitter! Jojo has done day care with her multiple times and she always has a great time! I feel very safe leaving Jojo with Azar while I'm at work. Would totally book again!”
“Kelly took such wonderful care of our pup!! At 4 months old, Moose needs a LOT of play and attention (our training seems to go out the window when he's in a new place), but Kelly did an amazing job keeping him happy, loved, and up to speed with his commands. We could tell from the second we dropped him off that she knew exactly how to handle his puppy energy, and she sent us pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how things were going. She even sent him home with his favorite snacks!! We will definitely rebook with Kelly in the future :)”
“We’ve done vacation boarding, but suddenly needed some day care when we were having workers in the house. Anthony and Nikita kindly hosted Bear on short notice, which was much appreciated!”
About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. Growing up, my mother operated a small pet rescue and animal shelter organization in Asia, and from a very young age I helped care for rescued dogs, cats, and abandoned animals alongside her. Over the years, we helped rescue and rehome thousands of animals, many of whom came from difficult or traumatic situations. caring for animals feels completely natural to me. I do not see pets as “just animals.” I genuinely believe they are family members who deserve love, patience, emotional safety, and respect. In many ways, I believe animals carry one of the purest forms of unconditional love, and sometimes they deserve even more kindness and gentleness than humans receive. I have experience caring for pets with very different personalities, medical conditions, and emotional needs, including senior pets, rescue animals, anxious dogs, and cats requiring medication and special routines. I am highly attentive to behavioral changes, feeding routines, emotional comfort, cleanliness, and creating calm environments where animals feel safe and relaxed.
About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!
About: We are a husband and wife team with a combined 30 years of experience working with dogs. We have had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, & personalities. For us, our job is simple. To make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved when you are away. Since my husband and I both work from home, our schedules are flexible. This means your dog will have constant companionship throughout the day. A typical day includes: Outdoor playtime at various parks, 3 dedicated walks, and lots of snuggles. We love sending a daily photo and updates, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having. We live in a large 2,000 sq ft apartment with lots of room for your pet to roam. Our neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed. Lots of families and very safe.
“I have no doubt that my baby is in the best hands with Ruthy. I keep coming back to her for Doggie Daycare, and will continue to. She goes above and beyond and trains him on his off-leash skills (something I definitely want him to do better in). She understands Buddy (and her other handsome pups) in a way that is truly unique. Buddy goes running to her in the mornings, which he does not do with most people. It genuinely makes her happy to see Buddy thrive and progress in his skills. She consistently sends photos and videos of their day together and updates me on what they're up to throughout the day, which I LOVE. I am someone who usually stresses about my dog when I'm away from him, but I have such a sense of relief when he is with Ruthy!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Bijou! He is a well-behaved dog but has a ton of energy, and it was clear that Sarah understood his personality perfectly. You could easily tell from the pictures she shared that he was having a blast. She took him on a couple of walks, and he came home completely happy and tired out from all the fun. I highly recommend Sarah for doggy day care and will definitely use her services again!”

About: I would love to care for your pet and provide them as much walks, runs, or scritches. I have taken care of cats and my rambunctious dog Kona as well as several rover friends when I was in college. I am prepared for all sorts of personalities and super excited to help out. I work from home most days so am happy to go on many walks and feed them on whatever schedule that they are accustomed to. We live near parks so the neighborhood is a convenient area to walk around. Our household has no pets and I only want to care for one pet at a time, so the home will be private and they will have our undivided attention. I live in the temescal Piedmont area and would love to take your pet out on frequent walks.
About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
“Thank you so much Jennifer! 5 stars! I am an anxious dog mom to a very anxious doodle, and it’s very hard for me to find people that I feel comfortable leaving my little fur baby with. But from the moment I started communicating with Jennifer through Rover, my anxieties were eased! Jennifer is kind, warm, and a very clear communicator! She was very gracious and non-judgmental too as I over explained and neurotically walked through Ruffles’ preferences and routines! I felt so at ease at work knowing she was taking care of my baby and didn’t even think twice! And her updates and pictures were always great and informative. It’s funny too how you just know when your dog likes someone, and I could tell he really felt comfortable with her! Can’t wait to book again for dog walking.”

“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”
“Christine is detail-oriented and incredibly caring in her approach! She was communicative throughout, asked good questions as needed, and took extra care to ensure my dog Ellie trusted her and had a good time. An excellent helping hand!”
“Esteban is wonderful! Our dog Luna took to them right away, and it's clear they genuinely care about the animals in their care. I also really enjoyed getting to chat with Esteban—they're warm, friendly, and easy to talk to :)”
“I adopted my pet Digby less than two months ago, and Nicole's help and guidance has been instrumental in helping me and him work to establish a comfortable routine. She is reliable, responsive, caring and really helpful. I'm sure she's as wonderful with all the other dogs she walks as she is with Digby.”
“Emily is so lovely! She is very patient, flexible and clearly works very well with dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs is a bit of a special one-requires a specific approach and Emily was very easy to chat with and willing to take on a bit of a challenge. She was super friendly and sent amazing pictures of the pups. It was my first time trying Rover and I will definitely do it again, especially with Emily!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who takes caring for your pets (and your home) seriously! Since I’m not able to have animals in my apartment, I love being able to give my full attention and care to yours in the comfort of their own space. I work from home full time, which allows me to provide consistent companionship, maintain walk schedules, and be present during the day — great for puppies, senior pets, or animals who prefer extra company. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable following detailed care instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also enjoy caring for small animals like hamsters and rats, and I’m comfortable in multi-pet households.
About: Hi, I am a mom, wife, yoga teacher, therapist, building my own business. I love animals and I love the outdoors. I had a cat and I have taken great care of many dogs. This would be a great way to earn income and spend time with more animals. I take great care of animals and humans. I have over 10 years experience and I am excited to learn more. I hope to meet you furry friend soon. I know how much they mean to you because my cat was one of my very best friends. I will take care of your pets as if it was mine.

I have time to play with the furry friends weekdays and some weekends. I usually need a few days notice. I am currently flexible most of the time. Our apartment is pet friendly. I have lots of training with dogs and cats. We have a baby.I am attentive. We have space for animals and we have lots of outdoor space in our neighborhood for walks. Our neighbors (both in our apartment building and in the neighborhood) have dogs so please let us know how your dog behaves in the presence of other dogs.

“We’re so grateful to have found someone we can fully trust with our two high-needs dogs. One of our pups has both behavioral quirks and lingering physical limitations from back surgery, which means he sometimes needs cleanup after potty breaks. The other is young and energetic and a handful in her own way. Hy handled them both with total competence, patience, and care. She and Arlo provided a safe, calm, and understanding environment and kept us updated throughout with frame-worthy photos. Because of them, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. We can’t recommend them enough!”

I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.
“Our dog gets so excited when we tell her she is going to visit Uncle Rob. She gets so much socialization and exercise and attention there. We are so grateful to be able to travel without worrying about how she is doing.”
“Chad was really great with our 2 year old boxer. Fast communication, pictures and updates everyday, and it was clear our dog enjoyed her stay - which was important because she can get separation anxiety. Thanks so much, Chad!”
“Nasreddine was amazing! Went above and beyond to make sure our pup was cared for, even after flights were delayed and we had to add an additional last minute evening and afternoon of care. Judging by the pictures, Lemon warmed right up in her space and felt comfortable enough for many a cuddle. Thanks for the help!”
“My Yoshi loved Joann! It was their first appointment and it was a sleepover, so I was a little bit worried. Joann was so considerate, sending pics and reassurance about my doggie's comfort. I appreciated her thoughtfulness, and we'll be visiting again soon”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Robert and Brian, again, were wonderful with Nada. We feel quite comfortable leaving her with them and will absolutely leave her with them again. Thank you both ❤️”
“Ben and his family took the best care of Bruce. Their home was warm and welcoming and Bruce got so much love. Bruce had an infection that they spotted and were very communicative with us. They managed to bring Bruce to the vet so he could get the right medication/treatment. We were really grateful to be informed and really trust Ben and his family who took such excellent care of Bruce.”
“Inkoo was a wonderful host for Tino, keeping him happy with lots of long walks, naps in the sun, and snuggles even on the bed. I loved her daily updates with pictures of him clearly relaxed and enjoying himself. Top notch care! I appreciate that she took my request with fairly short notice and was able to do a meet and greet the next day! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future boarding needs.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Shareese on my recent trip. She kept in touch with me throughout my time away with updates and pictures of how my pup was doing. I would be happy to have Shareese watch my pup again in the future.”
