“Araceli did an amazing job with our dog Punky! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our dog's needs. Her home is also incredibly dog friendly--would definitely recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ruby loves Robin and Rahn so much! Ruby is a goofy, neurotic Border Collie mix rescue, and she seems to revel in the attention and love she receives when she stays with them. She has stayed there several times, and we always try to plan our vacations and staycations around their availability. Robin sends frequent, reassuring and adorable videos and photos and truly loves dogs. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Robin and Rahn!”
“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”
“Chau is awesome! Our two dogs did great in their stay with her for almost two weeks! She walked them and took great care of them. We also really appreciated her sending us pictures and providing a quick update throughout our trip. It did a lot to ease the worry of leaving them for so long with a new caretaker. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Maddie took care of our 11 year old Labrador. My dog was lightly exercised as requested, photos sent twice a day and basically spoiled. Thanks Maddie. I am very particular with my furry family member and Maddie was excellent. Highly recommend”
“Kenneth was so awesome to work with!! He was wonderful with Roxy from the moment we met him. Roxy immediately felt safe, comfortable, and excited to play, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was incredibly attentive to her needs, especially since she's a nervous and anxious dog, and even shared helpful tips with us when working on her reactivity with other dogs. Throughout her stay, he kept us updated and reassured, which we really appreciated! We also loved how many walks they went on!! Roxy came home so happy, well-rested, and clearly had such a great time. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“I would definitely be using Jessica for Future bookings. She's nice and pleasant soft spoken and gentle with my cats. Jessica sent such cute pictures of the cats to let me know how they were doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“My son is new to the area and needed to be gone overnight. We don't[ know anyone in the city so we opted to find someone on Rover to help. Phillip did an awesome job with my son's dog. He was extremely accommodating and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Cato went on plenty of walks and got lots of fresh air. I will definitely use Phillip again, he is an amazing dog sitter and Cato was well taken care of.”
“Daniela took care of my dog Mia while I was in Europe, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mia clearly had an amazing time and was so well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Alex was great! he communicated effectively and very well. sent me many pictures of my kitten so i could have peace of mind that she was okay and he administered her oral medication as needed! definitely trust worthy and would book again. highly recommend him!”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”
“Cristina was amazing with our boys! Very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and spoiled them all week! Will absolutely be using Cristina again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Charlotte really enjoyed her time with Ashley! Ashley was communicative throughout, sending photos and updates every day. Thank you Ashley! I'm sure Charlotte will see you again!”
“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”
“Ami is great! Very responsive and Remy left well taken care of and happy. We had the opportunity to meet with Ami and her dog before his stay. He had a great weekend with Ami at her place.”

“Marie did an amazing job checking in on my cat. She was incredibly responsive and sent tons of pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!”

Jessica was super responsive and communicated very well ahead of time. I'm grateful that she kept us informed with photos and took good care of our cat.”
“Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.”
About: For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).
“Crystal did an excellent job caring for my fur child. Crystal was very punctual, played with and gave lots of attention to my cat while I was away. I will be booking Crystal again and highly recommend their services.”
“Princess watched both of my cats and went above and beyond! She provided great details about their check ins and included pictures. She made me feel at ease being away on vacation. Thank you for taking such great care of the kitties. I appreciate it greatly 🤍”
“Ashley is a great cat sitter. She completes all tasks around our house effectively and per our directions. We have a special snowflake kitty who takes a lot of medications and Ashley has no problem administering pills and liquid medications. She is our go-to sitter and we would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I absolutely love animals. As a kid, I took an immediate interest in knowing just how to communicate, and understand dogs and cats. I even went with a friend to her puppy training course to learn more at age 10. Since then, I've expanded my knowledge and am pretty good at understanding body language. Just like humans, animals need to feel safe and comfortable with a new person. I understand that each animal has their own personality and quirks. Which can mean a different transition period for every pet. I'm a patient and understanding animal lover, I'll make sure to let your pet know that I mean them no harm and they're safe with me. No matter how long that takes. That goes for you too! Especially during this uncertain time. I'm very flexible and I understand this is your and your pet's home. Please rest assured that I will ahear to any requests made regarding health and safety. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I recently moved back to the area and am available for scheduling. I have standing appointments on Mondays and Fridays from 2:30 until 5pm, otherwise I am happy to play with your pups! I make sure to write down all of your pet's specific needs and instructions. I keep a very clean house and make sure that all windows and doors are locked at all times. If there are specific security measures you prefer I.e. (leaving different lights on at night and/or a radio on) I'm happy to oblige. I will never let your pet off leash and will always go by the rules and suggestions you have given me. I will always clean up after your pet! As I've mentioned before, I listen to you about any quirks your pet may have and make sure to work with them.
“Emily was an amazing sitter! She was very flexible and adaptable to learning about my fur babies! She made sure to keep them comfortable and happy. Her pictures and updates were fantastic and thorough!”
“Madelyn is AMAZING! Not only was she able to take in my Lola love last minute when I needed someone the most I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch my girl! She made the process SO easy! Her communication is BEYOND great! The update photos had me bragging to my coworkers throughout the day about the great hands my girl was in while i was away! For my first Rover experience she is the PERFECT example of how the process should go and feel. SPONSOR her! 🥹😭 thank you again Madelyn you’re awesome at what you do and such a beautiful spirit overall! We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Ramisha took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit anxious but she was very sweet and responsive and my cats warmed up to her very quickly! I would definitely recommend her for any pet needs and will be rebooking her for future needs. :)”
About: Hi! I’m Hanna. I am a responsible and attentive animal lover who truly cares about your pet’s wellbeing and happiness. When I was a child, I had a golden retriever puppy named Rollie, who I adored. As Rollie aged, I learned to be particularly gentle and attentive to her. Because of that experience, I feel comfortable taking care of older dogs. On the other side of the spectrum, I am also comfortable taking care of puppies! After Rollie passed, I adopted an energetic and quirky puppy from the local humane society and we shared 12 beautiful years together. I have also cared for neighbors’ pets, past roommates’ pets, and other clients’ pets for more than a decade. I have even used pet sitting platforms while traveling abroad to have some creature comfort/ extra spending money. I do not currently have any pets due to my lease so I find rover to be a very mutually beneficial platform ;) I strive to provide excellent care all around and it would be an honor to be trusted in caring for your best friend. Thank you for the consideration. My schedule looks very different day by day and even week to week but my flexibility allows me to be versatile in caring for your critters. I always make sure to keep an attentive a watchful eye over the pets in my care. I make sure to send lots of updates and pictures via text!

“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Leigh was amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I was worried about getting a dog sitter for Pierre, particularly out of town, but it was phenomenal. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. She gave frequent updates and my sweet boy really enjoyed spending time with her.”
“Ashley was a lifesaver for our last-minute daycare needs. She kindly accepted on short notice, and when we picked Teddy up, he seemed as comfortable as if he’d been with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely a 5-star sitter!”
“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. Thank you!!!”
“Isabella was a life saver for us during our visit to California. We last minute needed a sitter and she was available and was great with both my pups. Would book again”
About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time.

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“Hooli had a great doggy day care with Shane and Chris! It was our first time leaving our 7.5month old puppy and I could tell she was in good hands. We received lots of photos and updates which put mind at ease!”
“Our dog goes to Alexis once a week for daycare and she has a great time. Alexis is super sweet, easy to communicate with, dependable, and very responsible. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“William always takes amazing care of our dog Punky. He’s super responsive and communicative. He has a lovely fenced-in yard that is ideal for Punky to play and explore, and she is always excited to see him!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.
“Lara was great! She introduced chewy to so many dogs on their walk, and she said he did great. I’m so happy to hear her calm energy probably helped to socialize my pup. I will definitely call on Lara again in the future if I need dog sitting.”
About: Howdy! I've been on rover for a few years now. I briefly stopped in 2023 and then in 2024 I moved down to SD. Now that my pooch and I are settled in we are ready to dog sit again! Throughout my time with Rover I developed a number of regular folks that trusted their dogs with me and my pooch. I have one dog, Butler. He's 8 and is a loving and patient dalmatian. And as you can see in the photos uploaded he definitely enjoys the dog company 🐾 See below for my work schedule :) I work in the office two days a week and work from home the other 3. On the work days in the office I am gone the whole time so I ask that your pooch is well acclimated to being able to be left alone for that extended period of time I live in an apartment right now that has plenty of parks around it so to make sure the dogs get exercise we can either go on long walks at least twice a day or go to the nearby parks
“I really appreciated Zaira communicating and sending pictures and videos after dropping my pup off for her first daycare visit with her. Penelope came home pooped from all the playtime! Success!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
“It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing. So thoughtful, thorough, kind and gentle. My baby was so very well taken care of, with activity log of the day. Silke provided frequent but not obstrusive updates and photos throughout the day. She asked applicable questions to ensure appropriate care for Bella. Bella was so loved and well care for, that I am so appreciative and felt very much at ease with Silke's services. Thank you.”
About: I have cared for bottle babies all the way to senior animals that need meds and additional support. Big and small I love them all!

I have walked over 300 dogs, and work with a reputable rescue in SD to foster cats and puppies. I am my family and friends’ resident dog sitter for many years! I’ve also volunteered at shelters and adore all animals. I’ve even sat for snakes, Guinea pigs, and a skink! I work full time from home, so I will be able to give your loved one 24/7 care! I love taking walks around the neighborhood in South Park, and so naturally already spend a lot of outdoor time. I live right next to a dog park, and have a lot of flexibility. We have a dog friendly resident cat, and thus have a lot of cat and dog equipment at all times in our home. A lot of cozy spots to rest! I will care for your pet as if theyre my own!

About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I genuinely love coming home to dogs and creating a peaceful, loving environment for them while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic or more calm I’ll make sure they feel comfortable! I don’t work Sunday, Monday, or Tuesdays. Wednesday-Saturday my fiancé works from home for afternoon care and loves walks to the park with your dog 😊 I have a balcony where your dog can be outside and it will be gated for them. I will treat your pet like my own.
About: I will tailor the love and care for your pet based on his or her behavior and personality. I have both a senior dog and a pup, so there’s a huge range of personalities in between both. My senior dog requires at least an hour inside then wants his own time in the yard as for the pup he requires a lot of exercise and then nap time in the couch. Let me know your fur baby ‘s personality and I’ll be sure to accommodate. At my home you have the option to be completely outside or inside, we have cement and grass and lots of fruit trees for them to smell and explore. I would prefer for your dog to be potty trained in advanced if he or she requires to be inside.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog sitter/walker with 3 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, including caring for a nervous and timid dog. I know how to build trust, stay calm, and make dogs feel safe and comfortable. With my military experience, I bring strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I only work with dogs and welcome all sizes. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before booking to understand your dog’s needs and make sure it’s the perfect fit.

I also keep the home clean and secure while treating it with respect. I do not offer in-home boarding, as I have a timid dog of my own and prefer to keep a low-stress environment for all pets.

I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether your pup needs structure, slow introductions, extra cuddles, or a calm environment, I take the time to understand their routine so they feel safe while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Kenneth was so awesome to work with!! He was wonderful with Roxy from the moment we met him. Roxy immediately felt safe, comfortable, and excited to play, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was incredibly attentive to her needs, especially since she's a nervous and anxious dog, and even shared helpful tips with us when working on her reactivity with other dogs. Throughout her stay, he kept us updated and reassured, which we really appreciated! We also loved how many walks they went on!! Roxy came home so happy, well-rested, and clearly had such a great time. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“I would definitely be using Jessica for Future bookings. She's nice and pleasant soft spoken and gentle with my cats. Jessica sent such cute pictures of the cats to let me know how they were doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”
“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”
“Ami is great! Very responsive and Remy left well taken care of and happy. We had the opportunity to meet with Ami and her dog before his stay. He had a great weekend with Ami at her place.”
“Vanessa and her darling son could not have been more perfect for us. Their willingness to take on a frisky, high-energy puppy with such affection was outstanding. I highly recommend her!”
“Felicia was amazing with my dog, Beans! She was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, sent great pictures and updates, and took such good care of him. Beans is shy at first, but Felicia was patient and took the time to help him warm up. Would definitely book with her again!”
“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”
“Shauna was great with our 9 year old Australian Shepherd. She took her on daily long walks, which our dog loves more than anything! We received lots of photos of our happy dog that made us feel at ease on our vacation. I would highly recommend Shauna for taking great care of any of your dogs needs! Bonnie”

“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“Pamela was great with our Australian Shepard Mabel. She had a nice set up in the backyard and had plenty of space for Mabel to run around. She was very communicative and responsive.”
“Mihaela was such an amazing sitter. She sent us the best updates with so much detail every time. Our puppy Ollie seemed so happy the whole time and when we picked him up he was very happy as well. We couldn’t be more thankful for Mihaela and how caring and thoughtful she was with our puppy!”
“Carolina was very communicative throughout my trip. She sent me pictures and updates daily and I could tell my dog was getting lots of love and attention while he was with her. He came back very happy and well cared for. Could not be happier with Carolina!”
