“Chanel took amazing care of my cat, Pespes, for three weeks while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind knowing Pespes was doing well and being looked after. When I came back, Pespes was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Chanel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter. Thank you, Chanel, for taking such great care of Pespes!”
“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“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.”
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“I can't thank Carol and.Joe enough for taking care.of Mimi during my recent hip joint surgery. They were flexible with pickup dates and drop-off times due to surgery schedule. I was able.to.dropoff some of Mimi's fave toys and her pillow which l had forgotten. Mimi looked happy in the photos of her on her pillow that they sent me and videos of her energetic "sniff fests". When l was discharged they volunteered to bring over any groceries l needed when they brought Mimi back which meant a lot. Mimi bonded with Carol and was happy to see her. I feel confident and relieved knowing l can board Mimi with them when l need to. 5 🌟”
“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Kaitlin and her husband were great! They were flexible and gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing during his weeklong stay. Plus, their place looked well-equipped for dog-sitting with plenty of water, outdoor space, a doggy-door, and beds. Thank you!”
“Robin was an outstanding choice to watch our fur baby! You can tell that she really loves dogs and was happy to have Trevor at her home. She is an excellent communicator, responded to our messages quickly, and kept us updated with daily pictures of our pup. He was definitely loving his multiple walks and extra attention. I would happily book Robin again!”
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
About: I have experience taking care of my own dogs over the past seventeen years specifically my company’s inspiration, Bob, from when he was an eight week old puppy until his last days. During that time I boarded family members dogs with a maximum three dogs at a time. Currently I’m home practically the entire day and only leave for at most a couple of hours a day to run errands. Attention to your dog is my primary concern. I live in a comfortably sized home that has a fenced in yard. I will dedicate the maximum time and effort when walking and taking care of your dog. I’m born and raised on the Peninsula and have lived in the same home for fifteen years. I attended and graduated from Point Loma high school and San Diego State University.
“Great guy and he takes great care of my dog. I never feel worried when I’m away and I leave Moti with Donovan. As long as I’m in San Diego, I will most likely be using Donovan when I need someone to care for Moti.”
“I highly recommend Michael! I’ve already boarded my dog at his place twice, and I can tell my dog has been well loved and cared for. Michael be my go-to for sure. He is also super responsive and understanding, especially when I had to request boarding at last minute.”

About: I’ve have always grown up with pets, making me develop an extreme love for animals. I’ve had 2 dogs, and a cat who eventually has 7 kittens when I was 10 years old. Me and my family took care of them for 8 weeks until they could go to new homes! My love for animals has only strengthened, and after my childhood dog had passed, I wanted to take the love I had and still have for him, and share it with others by helping them take care of their pets. I knew the anxiety of trying to find the right person to care for your pet, and I want to ensure that I will give your pet so much love and care as if they were my own. I have a certificate in Cat and Dog First Aid conducted by American Red Cross so do not worry, your pet is in safe hands! I’m also very flexible for all types of energies your pet may have, I’m happy to chill out or run around and play some tug of war! I am currently a part time student at San Diego Mesa College, so I will have more than enough time to care for your dogs and cats! I’m always happy to get out of the house, especially if I get to meet more furry friends! My house is fully enclosed, with a fenced front yard and backyard. Almost all windows have screens, and I currently have one cat who is very independent and will be no trouble for your pet!
“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 kitties while I was out of town! It was somewhat of a last minute request, so I was so appreciative when she accepted. She is extremely attentive, upbeat, detail oriented with instructions, and sends tons of photos! She did everything that was asked and more! I came home to a clean apartment, and well-cared for, happy kitties. I will def book Sophia again!”
“Thank you Allison for taking care of Bo!! He loves you so much!! Alli is the best cat sitter. She made sure our Bobo was loved, fed, and took care of our home too. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands, and we came back to a very happy cat. We would absolutely have her watch Bo again.”
About: I’ve had plenty of hands on experience with cats. I grew up spending a lot of time with my aunt’s cats, and more recently have spent about 4 years regularly caring for my girlfriend’s cat, including taking care of her on my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, giving cats attention and companionship, and keeping them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away.
“Sara was phenomenal. She left detailed daily updates, took plenty of pics, stayed on top of our cat’s litter box, and even spent time working with him on using his scratching post. So glad we hired her to help while we were out of town, we will be planning to work with her again!”
About: I am an animal care specialist for the U.S. Army. I have 8 years of veterinary experience. I have worked in veterinary clinics for 7 of my 8 years. I am currently working with marine mammals. I love my job and I love all animals! I have had veterinarians who took interest in animal behavior so I take a special interest in that as well. I don’t just want to care for your pets while you’re gone I want that to have someone they can trust and love.
“This is the second time Eva house sat our kitties and she was once again great! One of our kitties got sick the day before we left and Eva gave us constant updates and took care of him diligently. She was very trustworthy and wonderful with our kitties.”
“Rachel has sat for my cat Lugh twice and each time has been amazing, prompt and professional. She always submits a great check-in card with detailed information about how her visit went and plenty of pictures. She is personable and friendly and works well with my pet - I would definitely use her services again!”

Does your dog need to be fed, watered and cared for? No problem that is what I am here for! Anything your pet might need is my specialty. =) I love all pets and have had my pets in the past such as dogs, cats, bunnies, and even chickens.. I currently live with none and would love to have some furry friends to take care of. I have cared for pets and have experience pet sitting on many occasions. I hope to hear from you and your pet soon. Can't wait to meet you. See you soon!

“Stacy was a great cat sitter! She was very communicative, responded promptly, helped with all of our specific requests, and took great care of our cat! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was in great hands! We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with cats, but my love for them really grew when I was in 7th grade and my kindergarten teacher gave me a kitten of my own. She quickly became a very special part of my life and gave me an even greater appreciation for all the different personalities cats can have. I know every cat is different, so I’m happy to meet them where they are. If your cat loves to play and interact, I’m always up for playtime! If they’d rather curl up nearby, relax, or have some space to themselves, I’m just as happy to let them do their thing and enjoy their company. If your cat stays with me, they’ll also have my home all to themselves. I reserve that time exclusively for your cat, so there won’t be any other pets staying with me during their visit. It’ll just be your cat and me, giving them a quiet, comfortable environment and plenty of individual attention. Most importantly, I want your cat to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their usual routine and send plenty of photos and updates so you can see how they’re settling in.
“Andrea was amazing! She was able to watch my cat for an extra day last-minute and went above and beyond helping to do things we needed at the house. Thank you Andrea!!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and understand that each one has a unique personality and routine. I’ve cared for cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I’ll respect their space and care for them at their own pace. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will follow your care instructions closely while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: Cats are not like dogs but they have needs of their own! Whether you’ve got a playful little kitty or one that likes to nap all day, I’m here to cater to your cats needs when you’re not home to (:
About: I grew up with animals and pets of all varieties. I also work as an integrative therapist in the community and know firsthand how important pets are as beloved members of the family. I am nurturing, attentive to detail and have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats, especially 💜 I have a flexible schedule and will be happy to work around your pet sitting needs, as best as possible. I also have a beautiful fenced in yard and pet friendly home, available for boarding. My approach is to work with the individual needs of each fur baby and their families. I can either take care of your pets in your home or offer to board them at my home, with lots of space to play in our fenced yard and pet friendly home.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always had a natural love for animals. I have a calm and patient presence around animals and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so caring for yours truly brings me so much joy! Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions, and I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you and your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable. 🐾 I work part-time as a Stage Manager, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available during the daytime on weekdays, making my schedule a great fit for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and keeping your pets company while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and always supervise dogs while they’re outside. I don’t have pets of my own, but I live in a multi-family home where the other the residents have dogs in a completely separate living space. Their dogs will not share a space with your pet. Please let me know how your dog reacts to seeing or hearing other dogs so I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe during their stay. On walks, dogs stay securely leashed, and I avoid unfamiliar dogs unless discussed with you beforehand. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding, medication, and care instructions. Communication is important to me! After walks, I’ll send a photo and update. For boarding, you’ll receive updates twice a day with photos and videos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Courtney is my number one choice for a dog sitter. She made sure my dog was cool in this summer heat. My dog came back a happy tired every day. Ali was happy to see her at every drop off. Courtney was able to take us in last minute and was communicating throughout my dog’s stay. Highly recommend Courtney for pups that thrive off one on one time, fun games and walks.”
“Joanna was absolutely amazing with my dog Milo! She was super responsive, very nice, easy to coordinate care with and went above and beyond when taking care of him. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs pretty much my whole life and nothing makes me happier. I have volunteered at animal rescue organizations and fostered puppies and older dogs who have been abused or neglected. I currently have a 3-year-old Siberian Huskey named Koda that I rescued at 8 weeks old. I offer dog walking services, house sitting (including watering plants, collecting mail, and caring for cats, dogs, etc) as well as drop-in visits to get some energy out of your pup while your at work. I am also able to follow any specific requests that will make you or your animals feel more comfortable. Aside from caring for my own pup my schedule is completely available for any walking, sitting, or house care needs at the moment, reach out and I’m sure I can help with whatever is needed. Last-minute needs are welcomed! In order to ensure safety I would always double-check the gates of my client's homes, and make sure I ask about any escape behavior in the past, as well as always making sure collars or harnesses are snug and leashes are secure before setting out for any walk. I also prefer to walk in parks and walking trails and avoid main roads for your pup's safety.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
“Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!”
“Oliver loved his time with Taylor and their dog Benny! I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Taylor was also very accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. You could tell she really has a soft spot for dogs and wants to do whatever she can to make them comfortable and happy! We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Kelsey is such a sweet person and gave me a lot of peace of mind when leaving my dog Cedric with her. She sent pictures and updates as well as built a rapport with me which gave me comfort as I’m an anxious dog mom usually! Cedric loves going to play with Kelsey and her sweet pup Kai. I always know he’s in good hands.”
“Hope was so amazing! She kept my pup so comfortable and gave him all the cuddles and lots of walks. She also accepted our last minute request for daycare which was very appreciated. We will definitely use her next time we’re in town.”

“Gaby took very good care of my dog with separation anxiety. I was initially worried as my dog has never been with a dogsitter before but Gaby kept Shio happy and relaxed throughout her stay. She sent me updates throughout the day too. Would definitely bring Shio back when we visit san diego again.”
“Best experienece ever. Dillin hosted us at the peak of holiday season. He was quick to respond and his location which is so close to sea world and Zoo made it ideal. He has a decent sized yard and took great care of our 90lbs emglish lab and 6 month old hyper husky. He would keep sending us pics and updates on the dogs and we were so lucky to have found dillon. Yes his prices were higher than the others but totally worth it. You pay for what you get. Highly recommend. Hope you have a similar experience like ours.”
“Oliver had the BEST DAY EVER with Kacper. I picked up a very tired and very happy dog. He gave him great exercise and shared updates throughout the day. You can tell how much he loves dogs and we can’t wait to use him again for daycare!!”
“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve had dogs all my life and my mutt, Toby, is the prince of the house! We’d love to cuddle with your fur baby and take them for long walks on (or near) the beach while you are on your vacation! I’ve volunteered and worked a vet clinics over the years, but am currently going back to school to get my RN degree. I’d love to connect with some locals who love their pets and need a little additional support or care while my schedule is more flexible! Most days I am up from 6:30/7am-10pm. Monday-Wednesday I am at home all day, but I do work part time at a local coffee shop Thursday through Sunday (OB Beans). My shifts are generally 4-5 hours, so getting getting your pup active before and after my shifts are generally not a problem! I have a fenced in yard and a medium sized neutered boxer mix who will share the space. If needed, he is happy to hang out in solitude in the bedroom if your pup is timid with friends! I live a block from the beach and close to sunset cliffs, so a walk or likely even two are not uncommon- we can cater to your pace!
“Jessica took such great care of Remi! She had an amazing day with Jessica’s family and kids and it was clear she was so loved and well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout and I felt completely at ease knowing Remi was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her 🐾🤍”
About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love
“Very grateful Gwyneth was available on a super short notice! She’s friendly and easy to communicate with. I would book her again without hesitation. Thanks again for spending the day with Daisy!”

About: Lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves to feel right at home! I share my home with a sweet 13-year-old terrier mix, Zora, so I have plenty of experience with senior dog care and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. With a flexible schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home has plenty of room to zoom with hardwood floors and a large, fenced backyard that's perfect for fetch, and I love taking walks along Sunset Cliffs. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'll treat them like one of my own while you're away! I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and provide consistent, loving care while you’re away. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, easygoing dog who loves naps but is always happy to make a new friend. I also enjoy daily neighborhood walks, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and sniffing all the exciting sights along the way!
About: I was born and raised into raising and growing with dogs, always having 2-3 dogs at any given time. I am 26 years old, full time student, full time dog owner of my baby boy (Husky). Dogs get me, and I get dogs, quite the mutual love exchange. I’m not afraid of bitten, smelly things, cleaning up messes, and approaching troubled dogs as well. Currently on summer break while I transfer to SDSU, finishing off my third year at UNI. Quite the open schedule as of now, perhaps could change in the coming months. I make sure everything is secured, doors fully closed, gates shut, and while out in public, the leash never comes off. Keeping dogs safe is a paramount priority for me.
“Kirra was great! She made herself available to help with my dog on short notice, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly with zero issues. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: Hey! I've been taking care and surrounded by dogs my entire life. Just in my immediate family we've had a Dalmatian, Poodle, Shih Tsu, Lab, German Shepherd, Terrier, and Golden Retriever, not to mention all of the dogs I’ve cared for in my neighborhood, so I’ve had lots of experience with all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also now have my own high energy German Shepherd/Lab mix rescue so I'm very familiar with dogs that can be scared, distrustful, or reactive. I love my dog more than anything so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter that will care for your pet as you would. I know the struggles of having a sitter not give your dog the energy they deserve. My goal is to ease your mind by giving your dog the care, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation that they need. I accept same day requests! I have an extremely flexible work from home schedule so I'm able to drop in/walk your dog at basically anytime! I want every dog to have a fun and stimulating walk so I make sure they get proper exercise while also letting them stop and sniff as much as they want so they are both physically and mentally engaged. Due to my own personal rescue’s background, I have a lot of experience with dogs that can be scared, distrustful, or reactive, so I’m familiar with all the signs a dog might display when they are uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I always prioritize keeping dogs on-leash in comfortable and safe situations, away from other dogs.

About: I have had lots of experience with dogs of all kinds, sitting, walking and playing! I have helped birth two litters of puppies and have a passion for playing with them! I also am HCA certified and do senior care as well as house sitting! I am currently a college student at Point Loma Nazarene University, so pet walking will be in between my classes and pet sitting can happen regularly! I am willing to work with whatever setup you have in your home! I am able to take them for walks and out to use the restroom!

I am nurturing, attentive to detail and have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats, especially 💜 I have a flexible schedule and will be happy to work around your pet sitting needs, as best as possible. I also have a beautiful fenced in yard and pet friendly home, available for boarding. My approach is to work with the individual needs of each fur baby and their families. I can either take care of your pets in your home or offer to board them at my home, with lots of space to play in our fenced yard and pet friendly home.
About: I grew up with a dog and cat, and from age 4, learned horse riding and care which really taught me the importance of respect for animals. As an adult I rescued a cat that I had 4 years. I'm a Personal Assistant who had a dog trainer for a client who taught me how to carefully greet dogs and how to walk them carefully. So far I've pet sat for dogs and cats. Caring for animals is truly a joy for me :) I’m a self-employed housekeeper and organizer, which allows me to set my own schedule. This flexibility means I always have time at the beginning or end of the day to visit, play with, and walk your pets, ensuring they receive consistent attention and care. I make sure each dog enjoys a proper walk and would love to take them to dog parks or the beach when appropriate. I’m diligent about cleanup and attentive to all feeding, medication, and care instructions.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also great with communication and can provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind! As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll work with your schedule and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special routines. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining the routine they’re used to while treating your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've always loved animals since I was a kid, I've wanted a dog since I could say the word and I would love to have a cat of my own but can't in my current home, which makes me so excited to get to hang out with yours! I have two dogs in my home (Nacho and Stevie) and love taking care of them for my roomies occasionally. I work in a restaurant so my schedule is pretty flexible around my shifts, each shift being 4-6 hrs, so I can make pretty much any day work! I talk the dogs in my home for walks, to the dog beach, love when they keep me company in the kitchen or when watching tv, when my mom goes out of town I take care of her dog often by either stopping by for meals and walks or staying over. I don't have many cats in my life currently but growing up my family had 13 cats so I am used to cuddling, playing, and taking care of them.

“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Kaitlin and her husband were great! They were flexible and gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing during his weeklong stay. Plus, their place looked well-equipped for dog-sitting with plenty of water, outdoor space, a doggy-door, and beds. Thank you!”
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“Great guy and he takes great care of my dog. I never feel worried when I’m away and I leave Moti with Donovan. As long as I’m in San Diego, I will most likely be using Donovan when I need someone to care for Moti.”
“I highly recommend Michael! I’ve already boarded my dog at his place twice, and I can tell my dog has been well loved and cared for. Michael be my go-to for sure. He is also super responsive and understanding, especially when I had to request boarding at last minute.”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“Danny did a great job with Scout, sent pictures regularly and I could tell they were having fun. I appreciated his care attention for my dog while I was gone. I could tell that she was taking well care and would totally choose him care for Scout again!. Thanks, Danny!”
“Rachel was amazing ! I have a dog with bad seperation anxiety and she made him feel at home and calm. She gave me regular updates and lots of photos which I loved. I feel totally comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely recommend.”
“Victoria has a lovely home and took great care of my Palmer! We got photos daily of them having a great time together with family and beautiful walks over Christmas break”
“Teresa was so great with Ricky! I could tell he was right at home with her. She sent me pictures and updates and was it such a pleasure to have her watch Ricky. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Kodak was in great hands during his stay! He got daily walks and daily cuddles. He looked very comfortable with Wendy. Definitely will be rebooking in the future and would recommend to anyone!”
“Kimberly is a regular in hosting Abbie and I’m almost ashamed at how excited Abbie gets to go for a ‘vacation’ to stay with her when I’m out of the area. She always takes the best care of Abbie and I know she’s in the best hands when she’s with her! On top of that Kimberly is super accommodating and this time around even offered to pick up Abbie from another Rover nearby for me when I had to leave for work a day earlier which she was unavailable for. I couldn’t recommend enough!”
