“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“Liza was amazing she took great care of our boys while we were away on vacation. She made us feel comfortable right away and did a good job communicating we would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Whitney was very communicative from the start all way through to picking up our dog Pony. We got plenty of photos throughout the day and night she was watching him which we were grateful for :) Pony loves other dogs so it was great that Whitney owns one and was watching another during his stay. She even bought Pony some treats! We would definitely book with Whitney again!”
“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Hana is a friendly, very experienced dog-lover. She took care of my high-energy puppy for 5 days without any problem, and she also tried to reinforce what we have been doing such as crate training. She is great at regularly sending photos and videos on daily basis.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Genevieve provided for our pup! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease, knowing he was in the most capable and loving hands. She was very communicative and sent a lot of updates with pictures. It was clear she treated him like her own. We were especially delighted to see that her dogs and our pup became the best of friends, which made his stay even more enjoyable and enriching. We are already so excited to bring him back for his next stay!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Dave was fantastic with my dog! He provided me with regular updates and photos. Louie loved being able to play with his dog, Astro. Thank you Dave for accommodating Louie’s needs. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone needing a loving sitter for their pup, and we would love to use him again in the future!”
“Our Furbaby Miles was with Sam for 11 days while we were in Hawaii. We were concerned leaving him for so long but Miles looked like he was having a great time. Everyday he had lots of other doggie friends to play with and Sam sent the best action photos daily. We feel confident that Sam took great care of our baby boy and we will be using him again.”
“Sama was great! I reached out to her in advance about her watching our 2 senior pups while we were in the hospital delivering our son and she was super down to be flexible around his due date and take them at short notice. He came 5 days early and she was able to modify the stay and take them early that day. She sent daily updates and pictures and they were clearly very cozy and happy in her home. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
“Kiara was amazing she communicated the whole time and sent pictures during his stay. He got a ton of play time with her and her family. She also kept up with his home schedule which we appreciate so much. Apollo will definitely be back.”
“My dog had a great time with Ann and her pup! Ann did an excellent job of taking care of him. Great communication from beginning to end, she sent tons of update photos and videos. We have definitely found our go-to dog sitter!”
“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”
“Amalia sent photos and videos throughout the time she watched my pup; it was reassuring to get the updates and know she was doing well. I could tell in the videos my pup was having a great time with Amalia and her family! Thank you Amalia for taking good care of my dog & easing my worries while I was traveling!”

“Bianca goes above and beyond with taking care of our cat Zoe. She is responsible, friendly, and has a natural gift for connecting with animals. She even spent an extra hour with Zoe because she fell asleep on her lap! We would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Anna did an exceptional job watching my two cats and home. She was excellent at communication and I really appreciated the regular photos and videos she sent. The house and cats were well taken care of and I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a quality petsitter. Thanks, Anna!!”
“Stella was awesome I highly recommend her! Had her drop in on my 2 kitties while on vacay and she did a wonderful job keeping me in the loop sending photo updates. Definitely felt like my babies were taken care of.”
“Carmen was fantastic from first communication. I had to book her last minute when other plans fell through and she was quickly responsive and reassuring. She asked questions that I didn’t think of, showing me she cares and is thoughtful, responsible and takes the job seriously with heart. She sent great pictures that showed my cat trusting and loving her, which put me totally at ease while I was across the country for a week and a half. I trusted her immediately and would recommend her to anyone. Cats know cat people and when you want someone to just love your cat when you’re gone, she’s your girl!”

About: Howdy Rover! Growing up, my family always had cats, cats for days, mom did not have the bandwidth for dog shenanigans. But I have been passionate about canine's from my earliest memories. I have been dogsitting and walking my grandparents dog as well as neighborhood dogs since I was 12. MY first dog, raised from 3 months, is the big handsome purebred German Shepherd seen in my profile photo. Koda was adopted from a breeder in 2020. He's very friendly and well trained. My roommate has another Gshep adopted from a shelter, and an Aussie Shep, so I'm used to VERY high energy and demanding dogs. That said, our home can't accommodate anymore furry friends, so I'm only available for housesitting and visits. Looking forward to meeting your furbabies! At this time my availability is completely open. I happily make this my full-time job if possible. I've been out of formal work for a year due to a slump in the job market. I will do my utmost to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and healthy. I'll evaluate potential hazards in the home before you leave, ensure all special instructions are understood and followed, and give you and your pet the best experience possible. I'll give them the same care and attention I would give to my own.
About: I have a sweet 90lb golden retriever, and a rambunctious and playful rescue mutt! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have gone through puppy training courses with both of my dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs who pull. I can help with training for pulling and walking manners if needed! Whether you need someone to come over and take your pups for a walk and some play time, or you want them to come over and play with my pups, I am happy to help in anyway I can! I work as a nurse only 2 days a week so I am fully available 5 days a week for anything your pets might need! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups who love to play. They love having friends over for play dates! My dogs are both crate trained, and sleep in their crates at night. We go for 2 walks a day and usually go to the park nearby for fetch a few times a week! We love to be active and do training throughout the day!
About: I’ve grown up always having pets in my household. Ranging from fish, cats, dogs, and rabbits! When I’m not with my own animals, mom and I are volunteering at shelters walking dogs or just spending time with the animals. I just graduated from college and the Air Force ROTC program. Now I’m just hanging out for the summer waiting to enter active duty into the Air Force! All my pet babies are at home at my parents house! I’ve managed all different kinds of animals so I’m able to easily adjust to whatever care is needed.
“Evelyn was amazing. She really took the time to bond with our pet. We loved seeing the photos of our pet and Evelyn was incredibly thorough. I was so impressed with her attention to detail and her thorough note taking during our meet and greet. I highly recommend Evelyn to everyone. We had such piece of mind traveling out of country!”

I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day.

“Allison was excellent with my cat. A last-minute trip came up, and she responded immediately with both compassion and efficiency. Her quick, thoughtful help took a huge amount of stress off my plate during an already difficult time. I’ve already booked her for a second trip as I’m happy to finally have a consistent sitter in the area.”
“Thanks so much to Genevieve for dropping in to feed and play with Bert on my last minute request, she was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent me lovely photos and videos of Bert letting me know he was happy, healthy, and looked after. Will definitely be calling on her to drop in again if I need it.”

“Sam was very responsive and flexible with daycare. I asked for pics throughout the day and he obliged :) Duncan looked like he had a great time. Def will have Sam dogsit again.”
“Every pet parent’s wish is that their fur child gets the same love and care at a sitter’s as they do at home. Ann provides exactly that. She is responsible (arranges meet and greets of all dogs she cares for) and adheres to all provided care instructions as well as send picture/video updates throughout the day. I love that dogs are allowed to roam free in her house as it provides a more “home-like” environment compared to other typical boarding facilities. She is great to communicate with regarding scheduling and understanding when emergencies come up. Ann has been my dog Ollie’s go to daycare and boarding service for the past two years. But honestly, she’s gone above and beyond to be more than that. Ollie enjoys spending time at her house and even gets invited to her dog’s birthday party every year. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you”

About: Hi! 😊 ┈ 🐾 I'm Lucia, and I'd love to welcome your pup into my home! 🐾 ┈ I grew up with a miniature schnauzer who sparked my love for dogs, and over the years I've had more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Mrs. Shyrah is awesome! I brought my 2 dogs - Athena (Rottweiler) and Ava (Chihuahua/Dachshund) - to her care, and despite them both being very shy of new people, I was told they did wonderfully, they were so calm and friendly to her at her home. She let both of them feel welcome and let them acclimate to the environment at their own pace. She often sent me pictures and updated me on how they were, which was so great to see. I will 100% be booking Mrs. Shyrah again in the nearby future for all daycare and overnight stays! She’s awesome and my dogs love her! 💕”
“Shaghayegh is absolutely fantastic! She treated my dog, like one of her own, sending regular updates with photos and always making sure he was well-exercised and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving care, and will definitely be using her again for future pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to Benny and Ellie, who love sunbathing and harness walks, and I was also lucky to spend 13 years with my Lab/Shepard mix, Lulu. I understand the guilt and anxiety that can come with busy schedules or traveling, which is why I aim to be the kind of sitter who sends lots of updates, photos, and love. I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling, constant companionship, and attentive care. I provide house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and daycare services in my gated community with an enclosed patio, onsite dog park, and nearby hiking trails. Let’s connect! I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. I have a gated patio where your fur baby can sunbathe and relax if they need some fresh air or they can enjoy roaming around my two level town home and hang out with my two cats who love to meet and befriend other animals.

“Morgan was so good with my husky! I usually only trust close family/friends but I was very at ease with Morgan taking care of my boy. He was communicative and took lots of pictures! Will definitely book again!”
“I have only had Hayden walk my dogs once but he is scheduled to walk them on a weekly basis. He was very prompt in coming to my home to meet me and the dogs and seemed comfortable with them. After the walk he left comments about both dogs which I appreciate. I look forward to a longer relationship with Hayden and my dogs.”
“Shay was fantastic. She went out of her way and took time to meet Luke my lab before our scheduled date. This really helped me and eased any worry I might have had. Normally use only family to look after Luke.”
About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog/cat daycare and boarding facility. There I administered feeding and medications to cats and dogs according to owner instructions. I provided enrichment activities, walked dogs on leash to and from kennels and in yards some with barrier reactivity and leash reactivity. I have experience with off-leash dog play, recognizing dog body language and behavior, and providing redirections and intervening when needed. Other than my time there, I have owned both dogs and cats. I currently have a 2 year old pit-bull/staffy mix named Leia and have owned pit-bulls my whole life. I plan on someday becoming a veterinary technician and helping animals in any way I can. I have a pet CPR/first aid certificate and will treat your pet as my own. I just moved to California from Virginia to be with my husband who is stationed here in the Navy, so I am currently in between jobs. My schedule is wide open and I would love to help in any way I can. I cannot currently offer in home services, but I will happily come by and do drop-in visits with your pet and may be open to pet sitting in the future. I am offering dog walking services and I have access to a dog park that I can utilize as well. I have experience bathing dogs and clipping nails and am open to do that for an additional fee. I will provide undivided attention and top of the line care for your fur baby! I have experience feeding and administering medications, recognizing dog and cat body language, walking dogs, and providing off-leash play and enrichment.
About: I’ve always been a dog person and have cared for dogs most of my life. I had a Boxer named Pantera, along with her mom and brother, Hercules, and now I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Diego. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m available on weekends and during weekday evenings. I love spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets because I feel the same way about my own puppy. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will take the time to learn your dogs schedule and routine that you already have in place for them. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible, whether that’s in my home or yours (whichever you prefer). I also like to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Ever since I was a teenager my family and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals. Everyone knows they are safe while they’re gone. While most of my friends are focused on marriage/having kids, I am more focused on spending time with animals😂 Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!
“Kiera is wonderfully responsive, professional, and so so sweet to our four-legged child. She helped us out so much by walking our Doberman 5 days a week for 10 weeks straight without fail! THANK YOU KIERA! If I could tip you a million dollars I would!”
About: I've owned dogs since childhood, mainly labs and retrievers (+60 lbs). I also have experience walking/sitting for smaller dogs including pugs and doodles. New to the Rover app but I've been around dogs for years, very comfortable with all shapes, sizes and ages! I'm currently employed full-time and am available for walks Friday afternoons and weekends. My own dog gets two walks a day (morning/evening) for a minimum of 30 minutes per walk; I can be flexible with your pet's physical needs in terms of walk length, speed, etc. My lab gets a lot of attention throughout the day. She gets 2 walks a day around my residential neighborhood. I have a large backyard that she has access to 24/7 through her dog door. My home is also well stocked in dog toys and treats, so she stays plenty entertained (and fed!).
About: I’ve cared for dogs in both my home and clients’ homes, offering drop-in visits and regular walks. Though I’m still building experience in puppy training, I approach every dog with patience, consistency, and genuine love for their well-being. I am available 6 days a week from 10/11am to 9/10pm, depending on my schedule changes. I am a part time college student but I am very free and open. Pets are only allowed on the patio when I’m outside with them, ensuring their safety at all times. During walks, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding high-traffic areas, and staying alert to their surroundings. I’m diligent about following each owner’s rules and routines to provide consistent, reliable care and peace of mind.
About: Greetings, I am Ellen (and Zopa), your trusted and experienced dog sitter. Warning: Your dog will be spoilt with kisses, walks and snooggles! My husband and I grew up with dogs all our lives and have taken care of pups ranges from 2 months to 16 years old. I work from home full time so I will be home with your fur bebe during the day as well. We have a fur bebe of our own, Zopa, 9 yo gentle Lab Mix and he is both people and dog-friendly; except for unneutered male pups (sorry, we tried with a meet up, and no go with the Zopa) Zopa is not possessive with his toys; so our doggo toy box is available for your pup as well. We have a large fenced backyard overlooking a canyon; this is where Zopa normally sunbathe and nap during the day or stretch his legs in between naps, snacks and walk breaks. During hot days, air conditioning is available and usually on. (Our late bulldog used to cycle between the AC and covered backyard area in the summer 🥰) We do not discriminate against any dog breed although I require a meet-up prior to booking to ensure everything is good with Zopa, your pup, us and so that you feel more comfortable trusting your fur bebe with us. Nothing make me happier but to give your dog a comfortable stay - a home away from home with loads of love, kisses and pampering while keeping them safe so you can focus on your trip. WFH Full Time - Flexible Schedule I work from home full time. I’m flexible with your pet needs, such as feeding time, walk schedules, heat sensitivity, food allergy, etc. I’ll update you with pics and/or videos as often as you would like; usually around 3 times per day on average. (Including tagging you or your fur baby’s ig account 😊) Weekday Routine Neighborhood walks or park trips 2 times a day are Zopa’s jam; once in the AM and once in the PM. We are early risers especially on weekdays - Zopa and I usually complete our morning rituals including breffast and AM neighborhood walk by 7:30-8 AM. In the summer, early walks will commence to avoid heat and PM walk is usually a little later depending on temperature of the day. (dogs can burn their paws on hot surfaces e.g. asphalt) Our backyard access is available at all times from inside the house so the pups can choose whether to chill inside or outside. Weekend Routine I usually take Zopa for a longer walk, for a chill hike, or dog park fun times in the weekend. (Balboa park, Grape Street Park, Civita Park are some of the parks we normally frequent) Sometimes, Zopa is out shopping with me (Nordstrom sales people are his besties), or to dog-friendly restaurant / breweries around San Diego as well. We usually end the night with chill time in our backyard. Your fur baby will be like my fur baby as well with access to fully fenced backyard, a furry super chill brother, plus safe and fun home 🏠. I prefer boarding in my own home. If your fur baby has heat sensitivity (e.g. bulldogs, Samoyed, husky) we turn on our air conditioner and fans when it’s hot. Let us know what your fur Bebe’s fave things are and their routine; we can adjust accordingly.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve owned and cared for Dalmatians, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Doberman Pinschers, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy working dogs to small companion breeds. I understand daily routines, exercise needs, feeding schedules, and basic behavior cues. I’ve also cared for family members’ cats, including feeding, litter care, and providing attention and enrichment. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and affection. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and full-time engineering student, discipline and dependability are built into everything I do — including how I care for your pets. I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with limited availability on Tuesday and Thursday mornings due to class (7:55 AM–12:45 PM). My days start at 5–6 AM, so your pets get an energetic, attentive caregiver from the moment the day begins — flexible, dependable, and genuinely invested in their well-being. I prioritize your pets’ safety and comfort at all times. I maintain a clean, secure, and calm environment and make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I communicate clearly with owners by phone and love sending updates and photos so you always know your pets are safe and enjoying their day.
About: Hi, I'm Stella! Thank you for checking out my profile. Here's a little bit about me: 🐱 My cat Mr. Wigglesworth is the one who started all of this. He came to my partner's life starved, fleas, and smelling like garbage because he was thrown out. Even with a past like that, he showed me that cats aren't scary or mean. They just want to be loved. He changed everything for me. 🐶 And then Bingi sealed the deal. Wiggles is my indoor self and Bingi is my outdoor self and so together, they basically sum up my whole personality. 😄 🏡 When I come by for a drop-in, I'm not rushing in and out. I'm there to make sure your pet feels cared for. They are always fed, watered, cleaned up after, and most importantly, not lonely. The shy to eccentric playtime, the meows for treats, the "sitting-on-the-floor-letting-them-climb-all-over-me" part? That's my favorite part. Friendly or Spicy. Love them all. 🐾 I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, fish and honestly whatever else you've got going on at home. I'm not easily surprised 💊 I have experience with senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and medication administration. 🌟 I use positive reinforcement only because every animal deserves to feel safe and respected. 📸 I take looooots of photos and videos! I will be in the weirdest positions just to get that perfect shot. You're going to get updates that make you smile in the middle of whatever you're doing. Typical Drop-In Routine: - Cleaning - Potty Time - Food - Water - Playtime / treats - Crate (if applicable) Send me a message and let's set up a meet and greet! :) ⏰ Time Availability: Monday to Friday - Open Saturday - Open Sunday - Open, except 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM *I work from home majority of the time. However, I may have to go to the office for a week. I will communicate with you if your booking coincides with my office week. ❤️ Safety First!: A meet and greet comes first! I take notes, ask questions, and make sure I know your pet's routine and personality before anything else! During visits, I follow your instructions closely, keep everything clean and tidy, and treat your home with the same respect as my own. Anxious or reactive pets are always handled with extra patience and care. Also, I'm the type to double-check the doors are closed!

“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“Hana is a friendly, very experienced dog-lover. She took care of my high-energy puppy for 5 days without any problem, and she also tried to reinforce what we have been doing such as crate training. She is great at regularly sending photos and videos on daily basis.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Genevieve provided for our pup! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease, knowing he was in the most capable and loving hands. She was very communicative and sent a lot of updates with pictures. It was clear she treated him like her own. We were especially delighted to see that her dogs and our pup became the best of friends, which made his stay even more enjoyable and enriching. We are already so excited to bring him back for his next stay!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Our Furbaby Miles was with Sam for 11 days while we were in Hawaii. We were concerned leaving him for so long but Miles looked like he was having a great time. Everyday he had lots of other doggie friends to play with and Sam sent the best action photos daily. We feel confident that Sam took great care of our baby boy and we will be using him again.”
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”
“Shyrah was fantastic! Our dog clicked with her immediately and felt safe and happy. Shyrah reported with pictures very often and her place is perfect for a kid-friendly dog. She is responsible and cares for dogs reallly well. I look forward to having our dog stay with her again in the future.”
“Royce had a great time with Jimmy! He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures and responded quickly. Definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Sophie had the absolute best time with Sarah and Taylor and their pup Mango! They sent so many fun updates and I rested easy knowing she was in good hands. I think my dog might have had more fun on “vacation” than I did! We will definitely be back to play 🐾”
“Kylie was amazing!! Super responsive and always willing to show us how our girl was settling in!! She also was very generous with her flexibility when it came to one of our flights getting delayed. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Susan and her family are very experienced with dogs. My GSD stayed with them for a few days and I can tell she had a great time walking and playing with them and other dog and had peaceful time with cats. Susan sent me frequent updates with pictures which made me feel so much ease. I appreciate all her efforts caring my dog. I would definitely go to her next time without any hesitation. Thanks Susan!”
