“If I could I’d give Tami six stars! Our two dogs had the time of their lives while in her care. She sent us a lot of photos and videos to keep us up to date while we were away. Great communication, loving care and the best service you could ever ask for. Anytime in the future that we need our two dogs cared for, Tami will be our first call. She was also kind and understanding when our drive home took us a little bit longer (a hour or so) than we had planned. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her as a wonderful and trusted place to book your dogs for their own “staycation”. Thank you!”
“Holly was WONDERFUL. She sent tons of cute pictures, was super communicative, and returned us a happy, healthy dog. She was so nice and took great care of our girl—would 1000% book again!”
“Jenni was dedicated to keeping me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and texted me about his meals, bathroom breaks, and naps. My puppy loved her so much that he didn’t want to leave. He even met some friends, and from the pictures, it looked like he was having a wonderful time. I’m truly grateful to have met Jenni and look forward to seeing her again.”
“Rebecca is fantastic. She recently took care of my boxer mix for about 9 days and sent A LOT of picture updates periodically throughout the day. I loved the pictures and was assured that my dog was in good hands. I He came back to me happy, and healthy. I've been using Rover for about 2years and have been through a handful of sitters. She is the best! I'm so happy I found her. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog took to her right away. Diana kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Truly wonderful experience from start to finish!”
“Alison was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucas! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, and even let him sleep next to her for comfort. It was clear Lucas felt safe and loved the entire time. Alison was so kind, patient, and attentive, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’m beyond grateful and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter!”
“Nina was fantastic with our Boba! She kept us updated with thoughtful messages, made Boba feel completely at home, and cared for her like she was her own. We had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book with her again! ❤️”

“Doug, thank you so much for taking Maximus into your loving home. I was at ease knowing that Maximus is with you. Maximus was well taken care by Doug. After two days, Maximus came back home happier and I would have Doug as my sitter again.”
“I was anxious about leaving my Frenchie with a new sitter, but Lisa was very knowledgeable about dogs and their needs and behaviors. She sent me tons of pictures and updates, which really helped me feel better. Navy came back to me healthy and happy.”

“Sabrina and Ryan were great. They welcomed our dog into their home as if it was their own pet. Had daily updates after picking her up. She did not come home clingy as she has in the past. Feel very fortunate to found Sabrina and Ryan to watch our family pet..”
“Bells and her doggie Prince deserve 100 stars!!! (if I could give them to her). My dog Marley has been emotionally very difficult to board at other homes. He has not been able to be comfortable at all outside of his home. Bells (and Prince) were warmly welcoming and wholeheartedly loving to our dog. Can’t say enough how grateful I am. 100%”
“Jennie and Bennie are the best cat sitters!!!! They took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they sent me daily updates explaining how they were adjusting to their house along with photos and videos. The room for the cats is beautiful and perfect for climbing and playing. Jennie and Bennie are trustworthy, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable about cats. I knew my cats were safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend them.”
“Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available. Our Coco is an anxious dog and requires attention when she’s in a new environment. SaeWon and her family took great care of her and assured us Coco was doing well, sending us updates and photos and videos. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out on such a short notice! ❤️🐶”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“The best!!! Kenzi was the best I could have ever hoped for caring for my pup!! Upcoming trip a”and I definitely will be requesting Kenzie’s services again.

“Aurora is an amazing care taker for our cats. We started working with her in the past week as we needed to leave town for a week. She always updates us on her visits with pictures and visit summaries and has great attention to detail. She gives us peace of mind while we are away. You can tell Aurora is a true cat lover who enjoys taking care of cats, which makes us feel great and lets us know that in addition to food and water, she gives our cats lots of love. We will work with her again 100%”
About: Cats chose me. Eleven years ago, I found an abandoned kitten in a VW bus nestled in a cardboard box. I took him home. Took him to the vet the next day. And then made him a permanent member of my family. Two months later, half a dozen feral cats kept showing up on my roof. So I made a kitty-patio for them with beds, plants, food, and water. I fed these cats for 7 years until I had to move. In 2020, I found a very sick ginger tabby under my car. He was only 3 pounds and had feline herpes. I immediately took him to the vet and vowed to fight for him. He made it. And he is one of the joys of my life - Leroy. A very big boi now at 16 pounds of pure love and snuggles. All to say, I adore cats. But cats need to feel safe with you in their presence. A mutual trust needs to be formed, and I am patient in allowing that to happen. Then I will be giving them all the scratchies they want! I am 100% comfortable with all litter box emptying/cleaning/deep cleaning, feeding, brushing, trimming nails, and nose boops.
“Mable was a stellar sitter. Very communicative, provided the best photo updates and made sure our babies were well fed and played with! Really appreciate that Mable gave such good rover cards and let us feel at ease while we were out of town. Thanks so much!!! Highly recommend”
“Tessa took care of our cat Olivia for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation. She came in to visit and care of Olivia once a day. She was absolutely fantastic. She provided daily updates with photos to us. It was clear that Olivia adored Tessa and could not wait for her daily cuddles. Tessa is a kind and warm person who loves animals. I hope she can take care of our pet next time we are out of town. Tessa, thank you for being so amazing!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated cat lover with over three years of hands-on cat care experience, and I’m currently having two fluffy cats. In addition to caring for my own cats, I am also a cat care volunteer at a no-kill shelter, where I work closely with cats of all personalities—shy, playful, anxious, senior, or independent. I truly love this work and have built wonderful connections with the shelter cats through patience, consistency, and respect for their boundaries. I’m known for being detail-oriented, clean, patient, and compassionate. I pay close attention to litter hygiene, feeding routines, behavior changes, and overall comfort—because I know how important the little details are. As someone who has also trusted others to care for my own cats while traveling, I deeply understand the concerns and expectations of cat parents. My goal is to not only care for your cat, but to help you feel completely at ease knowing your cat is in loving and capable hands. I would be honored to care for your cat and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Thank you taking care of my cat and looking for her as she hid from you every time you visited! And thanks for being concerned about it being too cold and closing my windows for her. I appreciate it and will ask you to watch her again! ??”
About: Hi! The best part is that I’m not allergic to any animal so I can spend time with your furry friend! I’ve had 2 of my own cats for several years now and one of them dealt with medical conditions since they were a kitten so I provide them with special care if needed.
“Kristen was prompt, caring and professional. The moment my dogs met her, they went nuts. Great energy and super friendly. I always judge people based on how my dogs react, and she passed the test with flying colors. I would not hesitate to book Kristen again. and will do so in the near future. A+++”
“Carissa was great! She was nice enough to drop by before the first booking to get familiar with the property and grab the key. She was attentive to our requests and clearly loves animals so was more than willing to give them the care they need. The updates were descriptive and attached photos were lovely to see. Appreciated her service and will definitely book again if we need a sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely respect cats for who they are and understand that they need care that matches their personality and comfort level. I have experience caring for my own cat, a 3-year-old domestic shorthair that my sister and I have had since she was 1, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm environment. I know that some cats are very social while others need more space, and I am attentive to those differences. I am also comfortable with the less glamorous parts of cat care, like keeping litter boxes clean and making sure their space stays tidy, comfortable, and stress-free. I treat cats with the same love and attention I give my own pets, and I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their cat is safe, respected, and well cared for.
“I am SO grateful for Ashely. She is so warm and wonderful and an absolute cat whisperer 💕 My cats don’t come out for anyone else. I don’t think I could ever leave town without her.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a deaf orange tabby, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, quirks, and unique way of communicating. 🐾 Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I know how important patience, trust, and making them feel comfortable in their own space can be. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I’m here for the cuddles, care, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family!
About: I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care because I truly understand how important pets are to their families. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Hi there. I am currently retired. And I have a pretty open schedule that I can watch pets anytime during the week, weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in backyard where your animal can roam. I also live next to a walking trail for exercise. And there is a dog park within walking distance of my house.
“Diana was a great petsitter who watched over our 2 cats for a long weekend. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions on how to feed them and administer medicine. She made us feel very comfortable leaving them in good hands!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal friendships and family obligations, and have also owned two dogs of my own; I have a strong affection for dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently not working, which allows me to devote ample time to caring for your dog(s) and providing them with the love and attention they require while in my care. I reside in a secure apartment complex that features gated access, ensuring constant supervision for your pets during walks. Additionally, there is a spacious grassy area where they can freely run and play.

“She did great! We went to Disney for the day and my little Charlie loved it. He got to play with other small dogs all day. Cheryl even hand fed our dog because he gets so excited and anxious that he won't eat. She even sent us pictures of him running around everywhere.”
“Candi watched our two dogs while we spent a full day at Disneyland! She was very responsive setting up the day and throughout the day and sent photos of the pups all day long. They had a blast playing with her dog, Joy! They came home healthy and clean. We would definitely recommend Candi and Joy!”
“Jenni took great care of Rocky! He had so much fun playing with her dog and hanging out with her. I enjoyed the neighborhood she lives in as it’s very calm. I would like more pictures, but next time I will ask for them. Already have our next visit booked!”
About: I am a passionate, life-long dog lover with nearly 5 years of hands-on, dedicated experience managing, caring for dogs. As a multi-pet owner myself, I understand that your dogs are truly part of your family. I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else's hands, and I am fully committed to treating your furry friends with the exact same love and care that I provide to my own pets. I work remotely & at home all the time. Your pet will get 3 walks at morning, around noon & at evening. Several time during the day I let go pets go in backyard to pee & play. I have a fenced yard, so your pet stays in protected environment. They will have company of my own two pets. I am at home all the time to keep watch on pets.
“Rebecca was fantastic! She took excellent care of our shy, one-year-old Golden, making him feel right at home. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy our day. She is a professional, friendly, and top-notch pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will be back for sure. A++!”
“I was in need of a last minute doggie daycare and Erica and were my saving grace. She and her husband were absolutely wonderful at taking care of my Miss.Tuna (Luna). She updated me often, was quick to respond to any of my texts, sent lots of photos, video, and overall made my first experience with Rover an amazing experience. I’m so thankful for her help and if I’m ever in need of a sitter will use her again in a heartbeat. So make sure to book Erica before I do! hahaha”
“Charlene was really great about communicating with us prior to us leaving our dog with her on relatively short notice. She is very friendly, responsible, and kept in contact with us about how our dog was doing in her care. Would highly recommend and book again in the future!”
“This was our second time using Mr. Hung. He is always very responsive. We were lucky he was available on such short notice. Bernie always seems to enjoy himself. Mr. Hung always checks in with pictures.”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was able to watch Mr cuddles on super short notice, was very flexible on timing, communicative, and is an awesome groomer. Mr cuddles came with matted hair (our toddler loves dumping food on him) and came out pristine. Thank you Ashley!”
“I had been searching for a daycare service I could truly trust with my baby for a long time. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety, but even after Steven and Kim-Anh learned about it, they were very understanding and happy to take care of Mahur. She is usually very cautious around new people, but she seemed to feel safe and comfortable in their home. Both Steven and Kim are very passionate about training, and they spent a lot of time playing with and caring for Mahur. I finally feel relieved knowing that I’ve found a daycare I can trust completely. I would absolutely love to continue bringing her here in the future.”
“Dulce cared so well for our Oreo pup while on our Disney day trip. She kept me posted and sent so many pic updates! She was super flexible with our drop off and pick up! I highly recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting needs!! My dog absolutely loved her!”
“Tommy looked after our little chihuahua-mix for a day and Western was in very good hands! Tommy was extremely fast at responding and was very flexible when booking a meet-and-greet. He and his partner are both really friendly and nice, as well as his doggie Paku! Western had a great time snuggling with Tommy and didn't take long to get acclimated. Tommy is very close to where we live so it was very convenient picking up and dropping Western off. Tommy was also really flexible with pick-up and drop-off times! Thank you Tommy and Kim!”
“Cheryline was incredibly friendly, flexible, and made the whole process so easy. She took great care of Charlie, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Lisa was AMAZING! Responded almost instantly! Offered to accommodate timing for me for my 4 month old pointer for doggy daycare. Rufus’s first doggy daycare experience and it went great from start to during while getting progress pictures and at the end tired we found him happy and tired from playing all day. More than a happy dogmom! Highly recommend!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”
“Kun, “JK”, took great care of our energetic yellow Labrador, Lucy. We first arranged for a Meet and Greet to ensure that Lucy and JK got along well and they hit it off the second we got out of the car! JK asked to take the leash from me so that she could take control of Lucy on a short walk around the block. JK was very thorough and asked good questions about how Lucy would react if encountering other dogs or kids in public and also wanted to know if she had any other particular needs. I felt much more comfortable leaving Lucy with JK for daycare knowing that she would do her best to care for our girl as well as we would at home. JK took many pictures and videos throughout the day to provide periodic updates and was super responsive to any messages, too. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.

My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“This review is overdue! We first booked Shellby a few months back on very short notice. It was a very last-minute request, and our usual walker/sitter was unavailable. I contacted Shellby and she got back to me very quickly. I was worried because I usually do a "meet and greet" any time we have a new sitter, but in this instance, it wasn't an option. Shelby was an excellent communicator leading up to her walking/feeding my dogs, and put my mind at ease. My dogs did great with her and the care they received was excellent. I've since rebooked Shellby and plan to do so again. I'm so glad I've found this great new dog walker. Definitely recommend her services!”
About: i have had two dogs in my life, have pet sit large labradors before, and am a very patient caregiver. i work at a surgery center and am attentive and love giving personalized experiences. it is also pretty impossible for me to walk by a dog without saying hi or freaking out haha i work part time and have a flexible schedule. i am also used to warping my schedule around animal care and can make things work. dog-walking and stop-bys are probably best for my schedule but can make boarding work as well! I do not have any pets in my home currently, i have a fenced yard and large sized house with 4 other animal-loving friends.
About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.
“Reliable, quick to answer, sweet, and VERY skilled at grooming. My adopted dog Milky goes for 30 minute walks with Ashley 3x a week and she often goes over the half hour mark. Milky loves her and I trust her! Thanks Ashley!!”
“Thanks Rebecca! Rebecca did such an amazing job! Rocket and Benji misses her already! Love all of the detailed info from the walk and how you took care of them by wetting the dog run area and giving them extra water.”
About: I’m the person that tries to find the pet at the party. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats for several years! I’m happy to help you with your child whether it’s taking a walk to the park, needing a potty break, or just overall attention while you’re away for the holidays! I'm currently a full-time student and work remotely allowing me to have more time to look after your loved ones! I have a lot of flexibility if needed. If you have any special requirements for your pet such as administering medicine, feeding, and all of the above, I will make sure to provide that based on your request! Other examples: Do they get along with other animals (dogs/cats)? Do they require going for a run?
About: I have a 12 year old chihuahua. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old and she’s still with us. She’s now blind so there are adjustments we do to best suit her in our house. I take pride in my adaptability and desire to connect with each pet individually to meet their needs. Hi there, I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton. I work part time with the Boys and Girls club as a mentor Coach therefore my schedule is flexible. I really appreciate detailed information. I am always open to adjusting my approach to any routine that best fits your pets needs. It’s a case by case manor.
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. 🐾 As a proud Lab mix parent, I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, extra patience, or just a little companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and at home. I currently have open availability with a flexible schedule, allowing me to check in on your pets up to three times a day and spend as much time with them as they need, whether that’s a quick visit, extra playtime, or simply some companionship while you’re away. I care for pets in the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific routines. I also provide attention, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs, along with a basic wellbeing check each visit. I make sure pets are safe and comfortable before leaving and send updates with photos and notes after each visit.
About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant going on 8 years now. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, administering medications, including injections and I don’t mind exotics. I am currently working so i will be able to work around schedules and my classes are online for now so I can definitely plan my classes around your pets’ schedule. In general, I believe all living beings deserve to be treated with love and respect. Therefore, I will make sure their bowls are clean, they have clean water, access to comfort and safety checks before I leave.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past year, and I’ve also pet‑sat for my family members’ dogs whenever they’ve needed help. Those experiences taught me how to be patient, attentive, and consistent. I’m responsible and dependable, and I always make sure pets get the same level of care and comfort they’re used to at home. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I love building my routine around caring for pets and keeping them happy and active! I work hard to provide a safe, welcoming environment for every dog I care for! I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore, plus a friendly dog of my own who loves company. My younger brothers are great with pets and enjoy playing with them under my supervision. If a dog needs structure or downtime, I can easily crate them based on the owner’s preference. I always follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
“Carolyn is great! She was always on time and friendly and took good care of Clover while also working on some things with him during their walks. I especially liked how she would play fetch with him as well as rollerblade alongside him!”

“Yolanda was so good to Archie and Millie! She was communicative and sent pictures. She went above and beyond. They seemed very calm and happy in her presence. We've already booked for more walks. 🐶”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and was a pre-vet major, so I’ve got over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats/kittens, rabbits, and more! I’d love to help out with your pets and provide them plenty of walks, play, or company as needed :) I’m currently in school part-time and would love to use my free time to help out with your pets! I’ve been missing time with animals, so it’d be a win-win. I am very warm and friendly, but also calm and cautious when meeting new critters to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible when we meet. I’ll be sure to arrive on time to any scheduled walks and will happily provide company for any drop-ins/sitting as works best for your schedule!

“If I could I’d give Tami six stars! Our two dogs had the time of their lives while in her care. She sent us a lot of photos and videos to keep us up to date while we were away. Great communication, loving care and the best service you could ever ask for. Anytime in the future that we need our two dogs cared for, Tami will be our first call. She was also kind and understanding when our drive home took us a little bit longer (a hour or so) than we had planned. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her as a wonderful and trusted place to book your dogs for their own “staycation”. Thank you!”

“Rebecca is fantastic. She recently took care of my boxer mix for about 9 days and sent A LOT of picture updates periodically throughout the day. I loved the pictures and was assured that my dog was in good hands. I He came back to me happy, and healthy. I've been using Rover for about 2years and have been through a handful of sitters. She is the best! I'm so happy I found her. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Erica was wonderful with our Stella girl. She was very responsive and communicative, sent updates and pictures without me having to ask and she showed our pup extra love and care. Stella gets nervous and won’t eat at new places. Erica went above and beyond by boiling some chicken for Stella to eat to ensure she was ok. I felt totally comfortable leaving Stella in Erica’s care. We will absolutely utilize Erica for all future pet care needs.”

“Bells and her doggie Prince deserve 100 stars!!! (if I could give them to her). My dog Marley has been emotionally very difficult to board at other homes. He has not been able to be comfortable at all outside of his home. Bells (and Prince) were warmly welcoming and wholeheartedly loving to our dog. Can’t say enough how grateful I am. 100%”
“Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available.
