“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog at Scott & Lori’s house for 4 nights. They have a great backyard that my dog loved sunbathing in. I would definitely book with them again (:”
“Thank you Jenny for always taking such good care of Corby!! She always gets so excited when we bring her to your house. You always go the extra step to make Corby feel comfortable and happy!”
“Annie, Ty and their daughters took wonderful care of my dog. They asked lots of questions about his care and routine and provided regular updates and photos of him while he was with them. He came home happy and relaxed after his time in their home.”
“Diana is amazing! She took such great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She makes all her dogs and ’visiting guests’ feel at home. I could see from the pics and video updates she sent that my dog was happy. Also when I picked her up I could tell she was calm and content from being taken care of so well. Wish I could give more stars ⭐️😜🐶”
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Pebbles loves Gelare and was so happy to see her and her husband. I am so grateful to how well they take care of my fur baby. Pebbles comes home, relaxed and happy.”
“Michelle and Steve are awesome, they took amazing care of our Husky puppy while we were away. He had the absolute best time staying with them and Daisy! We’d love it if he can stay again in the future and we’re so grateful for Michelle’s organization and experienced approach - even with large breeds. Thank you!”
“Tiffany and Calvin were great! Super communicative and responsive, they sent lots of pictures of Nia during her stay there. Would definitely have Nia stay with them again :)”
“We had a short weekend trip and needed someone to watch our pup, Miso. Angela was very quick to communicate and flexible with scheduling, which made everything super easy. Miso was well taken care of, and I’d definitely book with her.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home where small dogs can settle in comfortably. I’m extremely attentive and follow every instruction exactly as owners prefer. We are an adult only home with no furry pets of our own (yet!), which uniquely positions us to maintain each dog’s familiar routine so they feel safe, understood, and at ease. I also foster senior dogs, which has taught me how to support pups who need gentler handling or extra care. My husband brings over a decade of dog experience, and together we create a warm, reliable environment. Owners can expect clear communication, thoughtful care, and a genuinely peaceful space for their dogs. I work fully remotely, which means I’m home throughout the day to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and a calm presence. I’m able to check in frequently, keep an eye on how they’re settling, and maintain their normal routine. My husband and I stagger our schedules so that one of us is almost always home, and the only times we step out together are for short workouts a couple of times a week. Dogs in my care will get a predictable, steady environment with very little alone time. My goal is to make their stay feel seamless and comfortable, as if they’re simply spending the day with family. I follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty instructions exactly as written. I maintain a clean, clutter‑free space so they can move around comfortably without hazards. I monitor behavior closely, especially during the first 24 hours, to help dogs settle in safely and calmly. We live in a gated community with many pet‑friendly neighbors, well‑maintained walking paths, and dog‑waste stations throughout the area. Walks are always done on‑leash, with close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and each dog’s comfort level.
“Thankful for Nina taking care of Daisy during 3 day trip! She took Daisy on long beautiful walks which is Daisy’s favorite on each day of her stay. Nina kindly provided daily updates and photos, keeping us assured of her safety and comfort.”
“Marina and Kathryn were great! We left our big Ridgeback puppy with them for 2 nights and got consistent pictures and updates during her stay. When I picked her up she seemed happy and exhausted from a day of running around their big backyard. Would definitely use them again!”
“Stacey and Christopher were amazing sitters! Stacey made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with them and updated us often with pictures and texts! We would recommend them and would definitely use them again!”
“Hannah & her family took excellent care of our 2-year old golden doodle, with daily photos and videos showing her having joyful, energetic and more or less continuous playtime with her new BFF.”
“Deepika was very nice to setup a meet and greet with our pups. Diring the stay she kept us updated daily with photos and a quick message about how they were doing. At pickup my pups seemed happy and played with. Will definitely book again!”
“Highly recommend Sarah, she took amazing care of Ozzy, kept me informed, went above and beyond to get him some "brain toys" to keep his Aussie brain occupied, she's just great! I will be using her services again FIVE STARS”

“Pam was great on time and careful to watch my slinky kitty. Harlow is feral and skitzy so feeling at ease knowing Pam understood the assignment was lovely- I will use her again- Thank you Pam!”
“We had a great experience with Megan stopping by each day to check on our cats. She sent thorough updates with photos which is always appreciative and took great care of our kitties. Her girls came over too so they got some extra love and pets. We will definitely look to use Megan again!”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I can remember. Once, we had multiple litters resulting in 17 total felines in the household! Our cats were indoor/outdoor cats growing up, we received many “gifts” from the outdoors. Now my family keeps them indoor. I recently rescued a lost kitten we’ve named Luna, can’t wait to meet your kitty(ies)!
“Vinh is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having him take care of our babies and he was very attentive to the needs of our pets. Including two of which that are special needs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely request him in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing with my two cats! From the moment I met her, her calm and kind energy set all of us at ease. My high energy cat and fluffy scaredy cat both took to her immediately. She was caring, on time, sent cutest pictures and left the house tidy. I would recommend her to all my friends!”
About: I've taken care of stray cats who frequent around my house for a long time and taken in lost cats, and I am currently shadowing at a veterinary hospital that sees all kinds of cats so my experience and knowledge of handing cats expands every day. I love taking care of and spending time with all cats and getting to know their individual personalities.
“Kelcy was great during the drop-in visits and throughout the whole process! She kept me informed and took care of my pets while I was gone. Great experience, definitely recommend!”
“Maria watched our fluffy, 6 year old girl for ~10 days while we were out of town, dropping in to check on her twice a day, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! We received daily updates with pictures so we knew our girl was happy and getting some much-needed attention. Maria watched Kasha for an extended period previously which is why we requested her this time, and we will continue to request her in the future for our cat-sitting needs.”
“Nicole took great care of our two kitties! She did a great job communicating and was very responsive. She sent is detailed messages and pictures every time she checked in on our cats. Highly recommended!”
About: I have had cats for as long as I can remember! I have 2 currently along with a few other kinds of animals! I understand how some cats take time to get used to someone new and some warm up faster and like to play right away or get scratches/loves! I know to give them space if and when they need it and to let them come to you and not rush them. I promise to spoil and love on your fur babies if they allow me! I hope to get to meet you and your cat soon!
“Shannon was wonderful to work with in caring for my cat. She asked about other tasks she could do while I was away from home, which helped me out greatly. I really appreciate her commitment for the timeframe agreed to for the visits, as well as communication about how my cat was doing (along with some great pictures!). I plan to ask Shannon back to care for my cat in future away-from-home plans, and I would recommend her to others. Thank you again, Shannon!”
“Steph was fantastic and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have had her as a sitter for our domestic shorthair kitty. Our cat Gracie is pretty chill, but shy and he’s doing well under the care of an oncologist and we were naturally concerned, but our concerns quickly disappeared. Steph was kind, considerate and professional and we will have no problem asking for her help again. I feel she went above and beyond just feeding. She fed our cat two times a day and provided fresh water and clean the litter box daily. She also administered meds and special prescription supplement as requested which was an extra we asked for. She played with kitty and gave her treats, and even fed my pond fish and put out bird food, a last-minute request. She offered to collect her mail and went above and beyond by putting our trash out on collection day without asking , she kept us informed daily by providing brief, but considerate reports and photos, and she was respectful of our property. We can’t thank her enough.”
“We were asked away on last minute work trips, Nadya answered our response promptly and within an hour we had the peace of mind that our cat would be taken care of. Although it was just one drop in visit, it was comforting to know that Nadya took great care of our cat.”
“Thank you Verona for taking care of our kitties while we were abroad! Verona is really warm and loving person. This is the first time we using a sitter and we were little concerned at the beginning. But after meeting with her, we totally relived and knew she would take good care of our babies! We will definitely hire her again in the future ❤️”
About: I have a 2 year old maltipoo and took care of her when she was a 2 month old puppy going through parvovirus. I will play with and take care of your pet as if it was my own. I’m very careful when out walking and aware of cars and other dogs and I even carry my dog when in large intersections and test the temperature of the pavement to ensure my dog never burns her paws. I will provide daily updates of how your pup is doing along with multiple photos. I offer reliable, devoted and experienced care, with both weekends and weekdays available and I go on walks with my dog at least 3 times per day. At my home, I have a crate area if needed for your pet and I have a spacious inside living space and a fenced in backyard for your pup to play and run.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ty and Annie. They are incredibly friendly, clearly care about what they do, and communicated with us every step of the way. They were especially understanding of our dog’s anxiety and went out of their way to help him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Hi, It was my first time using Rover, and Angela's name popped up so as soon as I sent the message she turned a message stating that she is available. My dog loved it there. She played with his son chased him around the house just like he loves. Charger saying while her son played the piano. Got the cutest little video. Needless to say he was exhausted from playing so well with her kids. I would highly recommend Angela”
About: Lived with dogs most of my life and have experience working with new born puppies to senior dogs. Most of my boarding experience is with larger breeds. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of flexibility and time. I am available regularly from 8 AM to 1 PM Monday-Friday. I am also available after 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also have availability in the evenings after 5 PM and both Saturdays and Sundays. I have a large fenced in backyard with two very friendly dogs of my own. We also have a cat in my home that gets along very well with the dogs. We also have a chinchilla, but he stays in his cage. I have multiple sizes crates available for use.
“Holly was wonderful with Anna my German Shepherd. She took great care of her. When I returned Anna was calm and very happy. Happy to have new friends to play with and very happy with her new doggie day care. Everything was very nice. Holly is exceptionally kind and in touch with what animals need and want. Thank you Holly for an excellent experience for Anna.”
About: Hi there! I grew up with rabbits (Netherland dwarfs) and have been a personal cat owner (five cats!) for 12 years. I have nursed my cats back from surgery and just honestly adore every kind of animal. I’m great with the more nervous and anxious ones, using patience and care to gain trust. I would love to walk, play with, and care for your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for many hours. If you have shift work or a non-traditional schedule, or need me for when you travel, I would love to work with you and your animals! Whatever your home situation is, I will pay undivided attention to them and ensure their best physical and mental health while you are away! I also believe in frequent communication so that you know your fur baby is happy and healthy.
“I’m so grateful for Chris & Corinne and the awesome job they did taking care of my dog, Kieran. I needed some last-minute help and not only were they able to accommodate my short notice booking, but they also made time to squeeze in a meet-and-greet session so my dog could have a chance to acclimate a little. My dog can be a bit anxious and tends to warm to new people pretty slowly, but within minutes of meeting he seemed at ease in their home and even came up to them for pets. During the actual visit, I got a midday check-in, complete with a photo of my boy relaxing and looking perfectly comfortable and content without me. If I wasn’t in the process of moving, I would definitely use them as our regular sitters!”
“Marina and Kathryn are such wonderful people! They are welcoming, extremely knowledgeable with pups, and have a great doggy daycare set up. My dogs were definitely well loved and slept like babies when they got home (which made mommy very happy!). I’d highly recommend their daycare and boarding services! A wonderful plus is Marina is a dog trainer and can help train your pups while watching over them! I look forward to future training daycare sessions with her!”
About: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Lisa came through last minute to look after Chief and Rux. Despite them being a little nervous on the first Rover visit, they loved Lisa and her ability to connect with them and spend their afternoon getting lots of love and attention. Thank you so much Lisa!”
About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else. Because of Layla, I speak fluent "snort and grunt" and understand the specific nuances that come with flatter-faced breeds. Your baby will receive the exact same vigilance, tenderness, and love that I gave my own girl. 🐾 What Sets My Home Apart: One Family at a Time: I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant companionship. To keep things calm and focused, I only host one dog (or two from the same household) at a time. They will never have to compete for a lap or love. I'm hyper-aware of the daily maintenance these special pups need. I’m fully equipped to handle tail pocket cleanliness, regular wrinkle wiping, and ear upkeep. You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy. Spine & Heat Safety: To prevent IVDD and protect their backs, my home features ramps and stairs for all couches and beds. Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time. Medications & Routines: I am completely comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and I closely monitor breathing and temperature limits. I work from home, so your dog will receive full-time attention, supervision, and care. My home has central A/C, a fenced grass backyard for them to enjoy San Diego weather, and tons of toys & beds to cuddle in. Your pup will always be welcome on the couch and my bed. Fun for a flat-faced pup is all about balancing engagement with safety, and my day is built around that rhythm. Your pup will leave happy, safe and well rested.
“Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.”
“He is literally a life saver I needed a last minute sitter and he came to the rescue for my Tito. Walked him took to park and Michael is very understanding would definitely recommend!!!”
“Our puppy had such a great time at their home. I loved their communication with me and their attention to make sure he was safely introduced to the new dogs. You can tell Michelle and Steve really love dogs.”
About: I have been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young, including but not limited to turtles, rabbits, chicks, and many other little companions. I truly love animals and have a deep respect and acceptance for all living beings. Being around pets brings me genuine joy, and I enjoy building trust and friendship with every furry friend I meet. I treat every pet with patience, care, and affection, just like they are part of my own family. I currently work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to keep your dogs company throughout the day. I can take them out for walks or potty breaks according to their schedule and needs. My schedule is flexible, and I’m more than happy to give them attention, care, and companionship whenever they need it. My home is a condo with a grassy area right outside, making it very easy for dogs to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, dogs are free to move around the space and are welcome to rest on the sofa. If needed, there is also a small balcony where they can safely enjoy some sunshine and fresh air.
“Nikki is a wonderful host! She was quick to respond when I first reached out to her and she has extensive knowledge and experience with taking care of dogs. Honey got along so splendidly with Nikki’s pups and enjoyed playing all day with them :)”

“Jeanine has been taking care of my pups for years when I’m on vacation. She is friendly, Reliable and Takes extra care to make sure they are happy. I always have confidence they are well cared for.”
About: Throughout my life I’ve lived and played with dogs of all sizes and ages. My parents had a small, old dog until we moved and brought in a golden retriever. Before I was 10, I was out in charge of raising a German Shepard puppy who grew to be 100 lbs! I currently have a small mixed breed and a black lab, we keep each other entertained and happy. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to meet and take care of your pets. I do travel occasionally and will keep my availability up to date. I live in a fenced-in half-acre where the dogs & chickens run freely. Indoor care and/or crating is no problem as long as the animals can feel safe. I’d prefer to come to you where your pet(s) might be more comfurtable and will be sure to leave your home is as-good-or-better cleanliness than I find it in.
About: I've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.
“Sarah was the best! She walked our dog, Bella, for a few weeks. Bella can be tough to walk, and Sarah made it look easy. Bella absolutely loved her and waiting for her by the window each day. Will definitely book Sarah again!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, attending dog training classes as early as 6 y/o. In the past, I shared responsibility for 2 family dogs (a Doberman and Springer Spaniel). I also have my own puppy, a friendly little mini-poodle named Peri! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for 8+ years, and offering services on Rover for over a year now. I love all dogs and I will work to meet a variety of needs, from high energy puppies to elderly/disabled dogs. I don’t have a lot of experience with cats, but I’m happy to learn. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Right now I have a very open schedule to dedicate to pet care. I take classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at IVC, and work at Mission Hospital on weekends. Communication with clients is my #1 safety priority. I will ask questions to determine how to best care for each individual pet. I try to maintain a sense of normalcy/ routine to keep pets calm in what could be an otherwise stressful situation.
About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.
“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”

About: I spent three wonderful years working at a veterinarian hospital, where I developed a deep affection for dogs. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own due to frequent travel, I cherish the opportunity to care for and enjoy the company of the pups I walk or host. After some life changes, I shifted my focus to my college studies and relocated from Santee, CA, to Poway, CA. I truly missed having dogs around and am now eager to return to what I love. I don’t have any pups of my own (but that’s because we as a family can’t decide), but I will give your pup all the love and then send them home happy & tired. i only work 3 days a week at a level one trauma hospital in the operating room. I’m able to make my schedule 2 months in advance which helps out with future vacation dates you may need. I have a small side yard however, I live within 5 minutes of walking to an awesome park that I go to daily. You won’t have to worry about exercise in my neighborhood.
“Nadya helped us with a last minute request and took Peanut out for a potty trip early morning. She responded very fast and kept us updated about the walk. We really appreciate her help.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them—I’m reliable, punctual, loving, and I always prioritize your dog’s well-being first. I work a flexible job and am available on weekdays after 11 AM, with weekend mornings also open. I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety is my top priority—I always keep a close eye on them, use secure leashes, avoid risky situations, and treat every walk with the same care and attention I’d give my own pet.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My sky girl and I went to many behavioral dog training course and we completed the advanced classes. Our puppy is currently learning and being trained! As dog parents we know the training never ends! Our pups are part of our daily life! We like to go for car rides, walks around the park or neighbor hood. Lots of ball play and chase around the house. Our Doberman could play ball all day. In the evening, we like to relax together, watch a movie near the fire or just cuddles on the couch or bed. We have a home with a fenced front and back yard. Our GSD loves to relax in the front and keep track of what’s going on. Our puppy runs around everyone and everything like the energizer bunny.
About: Dog sitting with 2 adults with flexible work schedules and 2 children that love pups! Our family enjoyed 10 years with our two precious Maltese pups before having to give them to our extended family due to a moving transition. Our two kids (ages 8 & 5), love to cuddle and play with our furry friends! Nightly Dog walks around the neighborhood are our favorite. My personal experience with pets is vast. Growing up, we had a myriad of different types of pets including a lamb, fish, and chickens, but alway dogs were part of our family picture! We’re looking forward to giving our children and your pets, the same positive family experience I had growing up. Lap dogs are our heart! Would love to cuddle and care for yours!

“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog at Scott & Lori’s house for 4 nights. They have a great backyard that my dog loved sunbathing in. I would definitely book with them again (:”
“Thank you Jenny for always taking such good care of Corby!! She always gets so excited when we bring her to your house. You always go the extra step to make Corby feel comfortable and happy!”
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Pebbles loves Gelare and was so happy to see her and her husband. I am so grateful to how well they take care of my fur baby. Pebbles comes home, relaxed and happy.”
“Michelle and Steve are awesome, they took amazing care of our Husky puppy while we were away. He had the absolute best time staying with them and Daisy! We’d love it if he can stay again in the future and we’re so grateful for Michelle’s organization and experienced approach - even with large breeds. Thank you!”
“Thankful for Nina taking care of Daisy during 3 day trip! She took Daisy on long beautiful walks which is Daisy’s favorite on each day of her stay. Nina kindly provided daily updates and photos, keeping us assured of her safety and comfort.”
“Marina and Kathryn were great! We left our big Ridgeback puppy with them for 2 nights and got consistent pictures and updates during her stay. When I picked her up she seemed happy and exhausted from a day of running around their big backyard. Would definitely use them again!”
“Stacey and Christopher were amazing sitters! Stacey made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with them and updated us often with pictures and texts! We would recommend them and would definitely use them again!”
“Hannah & her family took excellent care of our 2-year old golden doodle, with daily photos and videos showing her having joyful, energetic and more or less continuous playtime with her new BFF.”
“Deepika was very nice to setup a meet and greet with our pups. Diring the stay she kept us updated daily with photos and a quick message about how they were doing. At pickup my pups seemed happy and played with. Will definitely book again!”
“Our dog had a great time at Martin and Crystal's house in their huge backyard and played well with their pet dogs. We received photos and videos and they only had positive feedback. We will definitely use them again!”
“Winnie was excellent and cared for Mojo including taking him for walks and also playing with their dog pocky. All requests were adhered to and reply was quick. She was communicative and sent pics regularly. Recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Julia was awesome with our dogs! We appreciated the nightly updates and pictures! Our dogs enjoyed playing with her husky and seemed very relaxed in her home. Thanks for watching our fur babies, Julia!🐾”
“This is the 2nd time we have boarded Milo with Dahui. He has been well taken care and enjoys his stay with her. We are very happy with Dahui and would plan future boardings too.”
“Greg and Kateri were awesome and took our dog in like their own while we were away for a weekend. Provided lots of picture updates and were such great hosts. Will absolutely book again!”
