“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Will 100% use Barsha again! She took great loving care of our three year old spazzy English cocker spaniel. Loved getting daily picture updates - at least twice a day. Easy communication. Great to know our pup was in great hands.”
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“Kamila was amazing with my two dogs! She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and made sure to follow all of their care instructions including my dog’s strict prescription diet. Both pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable and loved during her stay. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend Kamila to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter! 🐾💛”
“We so appreciate Shirley! Betty always has a great time and Shirley gives her all the attention she could want! We have her booked for all our vacations this summer- Thanks Shirley!”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”
“Liam and Nadia have been great! Our dog had a wonderful stay and we received pictures and updates throughout our vacation. Liam and Nadia were also very accommodating when our vacation initially fell through at the last minute. They cancelled our appointment without a fee and graciously booked us again on a later date.”
“Bella had another wonderful stay with Sally! We loved getting photo and video updates. Also, loved the fact that Sally was readily available for the last minute stay. I contacted Sally and our Bella was there with less than two hours notice. Thanks again, Sally!”
“Amazing boarding our 2 dogs. They are treated so well in the care of Virginia, Max and their 2 sweet daughters. We were able to think less of the dogs while vacationing and that is very hard for us to do usually. We know the dogs are getting great attention and care while away and it warms our heart. Thank you so much! We will certainly entrust the dogs in their care again.”

“I highly recommend Niraj! Our bulldog Wally has a lot of anxiety and is a often tough to watch because of his energy. Niraj was so great with him and made us feel at ease while we were away traveling. He provided daily updates and had a great calm energy that Wally needed in a sitter. He was also very responsive in his communication and flexible. We will definitely be going back to Niraj in the future!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“Jess was such a caring and attentive dogsitter for Bailey. She has such a calm and warm energy, which was perfect for our senior dog. She sent us photos and videos every day, and kept us updated on her eating. Our dog likes to pace a lot, so Jess spent a lot of time with her in the dog park. We were really nervous about leaving Bailey because we never board her anywhere. Jess immediately put our minds at ease when we met her, and within the first 24 hours we were already receiving cute videos and pics of Bailey. Jess is super responsive, we could always count on her to respond back quickly. Thanks to Jess, we took our first family vacation in 10 years -- and left Bailey in the best hands. I'd highly recommend Jess for dog sitting in the East Bay!”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“I am so grateful to have found Allison in such short notice! She was amazing in getting back to me and literally providing the best service ever!

“Kathleen did a great job taking care of my two cats. Both cats were happy, fed, watered, and played with. Kathleen communicated very well and sent great pictures from her drop in visits. I would recommend Kathleen and plan to use her in the future”
“Stefanie was the best choice for our little Sesame. He’s a very people-focused kitten, so we were a little anxious leaving him with someone else, but we immediately knew he would be in good hands. Stefanie made sure she was aware of all his habits, feeding preferences, etc. and sent us photos throughout his stay. She really put our minds at ease and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Sumaira took such good care of my cat, tortoise, and chicken. She sent great pictures and they all looked happy. Appreciated her attention to detail and letting me know a light had burned out. Timely daily feeding and visits! Will definitely ask Sumaira to take care of my zoo again!”
About: I respect cats independent personality. If they need space I will let them be, if they need attention I will be happy to give them nice head scratch and belly rub if they let me. I go crazy for cat. Cat paws smell so nice!!! If you know what I’m talking about. I carry cat treats with me just incase I encounter stray cats.
“Gen was amazing! Kept my up to date during every drop in visit and sent plenty of pictures. I knew I had left Mac in great hands, and I looking forward to booking with Gen again!”
“Laurie was great with our cat Indy. Indy is older [14 years old] and needs an inhaler. Laurie was patient with her and sent updates every visit. Indy is typically very shy with new people but by the second day was letting Laurie give her pets! I'm very grateful and will definitely be reaching out to Laurie next time we go out of town.”
“Kamila was amazing! She stepped up when another sitter couldn't house my cat at the last minute and took the best care of him! Definitely will be booking her again for the future! Highly recommend!”
“Megan is an incredible pet sitter! Extremely attentive, thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile for your furry loved one. Highly recommend her!”
About: Reliable registered veterinary technician with extensive background in pet care and emergency medicine experience. I pride myself in my pet care and treating each animal as my own! Currently work full time at night, but I have free time during the day for walks and/or drop in visits! I have dedicated my life to caring for furry babies in my professional and free time! I’m a clean and neat person, so when I drop in for walks/visits you’ll have happy and clean babies! I’m great with shy babies so if yours needs time to warming up to strangers, I can easily do that as well!
“Elizabeth was fantastic! I needed a last minute weekend visit for my old man cat, and she was amazing. Followed the care needs, but more importantly left really amazing detailed notes from the visits and great photos. I felt so relieved with her visits, and I could tell my cat loved her as well.”
“Rebecca took excellent care of our three cats while we were away. Our senior guy was able to keep on his medication regimen. Her communication was great and we enjoyed her updates. We're so grateful.”
“We have booked Tatiana multiple times to care for our cat while we are away and we can't recommend her highly enough!! In fact, I think our cat is bummed when we come home because she doesn't get to see Tatiana 😆”
About: I have experience caring for cats of various ages and personalities, including senior cats and cats requiring oral medications or additional monitoring. I understand that many cats are most comfortable when their routines remain consistent and their environment stays familiar. Whether I'm providing drop-in visits or overnight care in your home, my focus is on helping your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Care may include feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, playtime, companionship, and monitoring overall well-being. As a retired officer, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I also hold a Cat & Dog First Aid certification. Some cats enjoy interactive play and social attention, while others prefer a quieter approach and companionship on their own terms. I take the time to learn each cat's personality and preferences so I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care while helping your cat feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed in your absence.
About: I’ve taken care of and had many different pets. I often take care of two senior pets who get medication and need extra help. I have a puppy of my own and have taught him many tricks. I can do morning, night, and check ins during the afternoons. I have class mon-thurs, and able to check in afterwards. I walk my own dog twice daily and take him to the dog park often. I can easily crate your pet if needed and am able to watch your pet to make sure they don’t get into anything. Doors will stay closed if needed and gates put up.
“Cannoli took an instant liking to Halona, which was a real plus. My kitty is used to having me around 24/7, so I was concerned how she would do with just two visits a day. Halona sent pics and texts even though I was only gone two days. She took good care of Cannoli and my home. I will definitely call on Halona again.”
About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

“We had a great experience with Stefanie! She was extremely professional, responsive, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Arashi, can be a challenging breed, but she handled him with ease and confidence, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her home is very well set up for dog care, whether for daytime stays or overnight boarding. Everything felt safe, organized, and thoughtful. We really appreciated her communication throughout and would absolutely trust her with Arashi again. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Barsha and her husband were great. They really looked after our dog and sent regular updates and pictures. He had a great time running around their yard and playing. I’d definitely use Barsha again and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“Service was exceptional. Responded quickly to my last minute request and was through and through. I love the videos that I received from Robbie when he was staying there. I was relieved and comforted to know that my pup was doing okay and was having fun while I was out. Nicole was an excellent sitter in terms of creating a safe environment and open space for my dog to run around and being a courteous and trustworthy person. I would definitely book again with her, for I’m sure my pup would love to play with Luka and the toys that were provided! ˙ᵕ˙ Thank you, Nicole.”
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”
About: I am a responsible and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I have helped care for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am patient, reliable, and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine.

I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”

“Best dog care experience I have ever had! Blueberry was handled with the utmost professional care and exceeded my expectations. Vanson is so attentive to my dog's personal needs by ensuring she is given her treats I provided and following any instructions given. He has a wonderful backyard with sweet doggos of his own who are very playful and got along great with my dog. He ensures a wonderful experience for both my dog and myself. Took my dog on walks which I could see in the Rover app and sent pics throughout the day of my dog. Such peace of mind! My dog didn't even want to go home with me after having such a good time. Book with Vanson, you will not regret it!”

The backyard made potty breaks much easier and also room for extra play. Stacy was communicative and shared updates with pics throughout the stay. I knew Shado was in very caring hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs.

I’m so glad she is helping us out . I recently had shoulder surgery so I cannot have my eager guy yanking on me. He is usually easy to manage but if he sees squirrels or raccoons, all bets are off!”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I love them, take good care of them and they love me. I will take care of your dog like they are family I’m retired and love dogs. I love to walk and walking with a dog will make it that much better. I Also love to play with dogs and I will make sure they are exercised. My house is dog proofed and I’m always there to make sure they are safe and happy. I will take good care of them, always.
About: I have been a dog walker for several years, I have two of my own, and have taken courses on how to best support pets (dogs specifically) while they are under a stranger's care. I walk my neighbors dogs and love to not only keep them active, but myself as well! I would like to add extra hours of work mostly as a hobby because I love doggies! This will not only help my he doggies to exercise, but myself as well! I have a safe and welcome environment for my current pets. This would be the same for me yours. I live next to a park which is perfect when wanting to give my pets some fun, exercising time!
About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience raising animals from their earliest stages. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, and all of my own animals—a dog and two cats—were adopted from shelters and raised by me. This has given me strong instincts for understanding behavior, building trust, and creating a calm, safe environment for animals of all temperaments. I’m especially comfortable with young pets, helping them adjust to new routines, reinforcing positive habits, and providing consistent care. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, or a structured routine. Because I treat every animal like my own, you can count on reliable, compassionate care and clear communication while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m currently not working, I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care any day of the week. I already structure my days around caring for my own dog and two cats—feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining a calm, clean environment—so adding additional pets fits in seamlessly. I’m able to accommodate different routines, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, structured feeding times, and regular walks or play sessions. I’m mindful of introducing pets slowly and only if appropriate, and I make sure each animal has a comfortable space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and house rules. I keep the space tidy, provide updates with photos, and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive to safety at all times—secure leashes, monitoring behavior, and keeping a close eye on health or any changes. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of and had many different pets. I often take care of two senior pets who get medication and need extra help. I have a puppy of my own and have taught him many tricks. I can do morning, night, and check ins during the afternoons. I have class mon-thurs, and able to check in afterwards. I walk my own dog twice daily and take him to the dog park often. I can easily crate your pet if needed and am able to watch your pet to make sure they don’t get into anything. Doors will stay closed if needed and gates put up.
About: I've taken care of my own pets (2 cats, previously rats and hamsters), who has 18 years of veterinary hospital experience and learned, adapted knowledge. Any time, any place, as long as I can reach the home, I can watch or visit your pet on any particular day. Dogs or cats. I can visit or stay, depending on the client's wants and needs; I care for my own cats with oral medication and a special diet.
About: I love pets! I have always had cats, sat/walked dogs, have 5 chickens and fish! Here to help and looking forward to getting ti know your sweeties! Morning walks, check ins, visits and coop opening/closing best in early am, lunchtime or after 5pm. I am happy to water plants. Pull in the mail/ packages while I’m On site. I will come to your home and ensure your pets are super happy and cozy! While your pets are in my care I will treat them as part of my own family!

“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Kamila was amazing with my two dogs! She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and made sure to follow all of their care instructions including my dog’s strict prescription diet. Both pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable and loved during her stay. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend Kamila to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter! 🐾💛”
“Amazing boarding our 2 dogs. They are treated so well in the care of Virginia, Max and their 2 sweet daughters. We were able to think less of the dogs while vacationing and that is very hard for us to do usually. We know the dogs are getting great attention and care while away and it warms our heart. Thank you so much! We will certainly entrust the dogs in their care again.”
“I highly recommend Niraj! Our bulldog Wally has a lot of anxiety and is a often tough to watch because of his energy. Niraj was so great with him and made us feel at ease while we were away traveling. He provided daily updates and had a great calm energy that Wally needed in a sitter. He was also very responsive in his communication and flexible. We will definitely be going back to Niraj in the future!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“Jess was such a caring and attentive dogsitter for Bailey. She has such a calm and warm energy, which was perfect for our senior dog. She sent us photos and videos every day, and kept us updated on her eating. Our dog likes to pace a lot, so Jess spent a lot of time with her in the dog park. We were really nervous about leaving Bailey because we never board her anywhere. Jess immediately put our minds at ease when we met her, and within the first 24 hours we were already receiving cute videos and pics of Bailey. Jess is super responsive, we could always count on her to respond back quickly. Thanks to Jess, we took our first family vacation in 10 years -- and left Bailey in the best hands. I'd highly recommend Jess for dog sitting in the East Bay!”
“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“I am so grateful to have found Allison in such short notice! She was amazing in getting back to me and literally providing the best service ever! She literally went above and beyond for us in our time of need and I am so grateful for that! She made sure our babies were well taken care of while we were going through labor with our second baby! She was on call and ready to go when we needed her! I will always trust her with my doggies! Thank you again for being amazing and helping out when we really needed it!”
“Casey is the best! Casey accepted our request to watch Jojo last minute which we really appreciated. He sent us the best updates with lots of photos of our girl. She’s been snoozing all day since we brought her home! Definitely will book with Casey again!”
“Sofiia and her husband were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her in last minute and were so caring and attentive! Will definitely be using again! Our dog came back happy and rested.”
“Our pup had a great overnight trip at Yena’s home. She loved getting to play with the other dogs. Yena is so good with them all! She sent lots of pictures and videos, so it was easy to tell our dog was in great hands! Will definitely book again”
About: I started in pet care at the age of 12, with a pet sitting business. From there I worked at vet hospitals in the kennels and patient rooms, Doggie Day Care, Grooming shops and pet retail. I've trained dogs, and trained my own in Rally, Obedience, Nosework, Agility and dock diving. I also created and ran the employee education department at Pet Food Express for 8 years (before they sold!). Pet care was my life until I was 35. I've since had a career change and haven't been involved with pets at all and I miss it! So while I'm too "on the go" these days to have my own, I figured I could get my fix with other people's pets! I can give meds, groom, support your training goals and crate train. Plus I own my own business so your pup can come with me to work! I own my own business so Monday through Friday, your pup will come to work with me. Shy pups can stay in my office with me, friendly pups can come into the warehouse or greet customers. Weekends will be for play! I have a large, fenced yard. I typically prefer to crate train but it would depend on the dog! Dogs that are not potty trained will need a crate but I'm happy to reinforce potty training! My environment is very secure and I can use a variety of walking tools.
“Provided great care and updates. Even with all of Hudson nuances of not wanting to walk unless it’s with minimum of two people, Nikki and her husband was able to care for Hudson while we were away visiting family in France for 3 weeks. Thanks again.”
“Sabrina was Great! Update with pictures of my pup playing and seemed to be his puppy energetic playful self which put our mind to ease and that Paxton her pup matched Rufus energy so I knew he was having a ball with endless playing. Very flexible with time and also requested a meet and greet which was great and made it an easier transition to me dropping him off a couple day later.”
“Chris did a wonderful job watching our shy poodle for us! We received daily updates with photos of her taking walks and playing in their big back yard. We'll definitely use Chris again for our next Rover stay! Thank you!”
“Justine was a fantastic sitter. Our dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family. We loved the frequent updates with pictures and videos, and Justine asked great questions ahead of her stay to ensure she knew our dog and her quirks. We will definitely book with Justine again and highly recommend her.”
“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
