She had sending videos and pictures every day to me to update azhao’s status which is very helpful. The communication with her was so well throughout the whole boarding.”
“Luna is staying at Soyoung's again for 5 nights :) She's so excited every time when she knows she's going to stay at Soyoung's. Soyoung sends me photos of Luna everyday that I don't have to worry about how Luna is doing. Luna also gets to play with lots of other dogs there everyday and sleeps very well at night. She plays in the backyard with other dogs and takes walks with them as well. She looks very happy! Thank you for taking care of Luna!”
“Just picked my puppy up from Yoona and Minjae and it was truly the most amazing experience from first contact to pickup. I was SO nervous to leave my beloved pup that I missed many trips because I couldn’t find anyone that felt like the right fit to leave him with. They were so warm, accommodating and welcoming and my dog instantly felt comfortable. They sent the perfect amount of updates/photos and were so communicative and responsive. They truly treated my puppy as one of the family and it instantly made me feel so much relief. They have the most adorable and sweet dog that my dog enjoyed being with. They worked with my ultra picky dog and made sure he ate by getting creative with his meals. I cannot recommend them enough and 5 stars isn’t enough. I am so grateful for them and the most incredible experience. Thank you so much, Yoona and Minjae!❤️🐶”
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We are so lucky to have found Billie to care for our dog, Chiko. Billie is incredibly professional and experienced. She knows so much about dogs and their needs. She knows how to make them feel safe, at home, and comfortable. During our trip, Billie updated us regularly with photos and videos of Chiko. She was very responsive to texts and kept us informed the entire time. Chiko got tons of exercise, play time, and walks :)) It was clear that he absolutely loved her and had a blast with her. We are so grateful to Billie!”
“Rachel and C.W. have great reviews for a reason! We did a meet and greet and felt totally comfortable with them watching our pup for a few days. They had great communication and asked lots of questions about our dog’s schedule and nuances to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Don’t hesitate to have them care for your pet!”
“Li-Ting was absolutely wonderful! I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in great hands! she sent lots of photos and frequent updates, was super attentive, and my dog had the BEST time with her. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Dave and Anna took such great care of our senior boy, Moti, and our rambunctious pup, Phoebe. The dogs had a wonderful time with long walks and lots of playtime. We loved receiving the photo and video updates throughout our trip. Will absolutely book them again next time we take a trip!”
“Selena was amazing with Mathilde! Mathilde almost always has anxiety and can't eat much during her first couple of boarding days but with Selena she ate every day and was calm and had fun.”
“Dawn is an absolutely incredible dog sitter! We are so grateful to have found her. Our dog, Mambo, had the time of his life and we could tell he was so happy and well-cared for. Dawn sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We could see how much fun Mambo was having playing with her dog, Manny, and they all got along so well. It’s clear that Dawn truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. We will definitely be re-booking with her in the future! Thank you so much, Dawn!”

“Suzanne did a fantastic job watching my two cats. She was extremely professional, showed up on time each day, and sent detailed updates and pictures after each visit. She even brought my cats a toy after they were getting into trouble the day before from boredom. I will definitely be hiring her again. Thanks Suzanne!”
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
About: Hi! I'm new to professional pet sitting, but I've grown up around cats and other animals my whole life. Taking care of pets has always just been a normal part of my day-to-day routine, and I truly enjoy being around them. I currently have a 1.5-year-old cat of my own, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the little quirks that make cats unique. Living with my own cat also reminds me how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you're away - and that's something I don't take lightly. While I don't yet have experience with senior or special-needs cats, I'm attentive, patient, and happy to carefully follow any instructions you provide to keep your cat comfortable and stress-free. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, l'll respect their personality and space. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your cat.
“Soyoung looked after my cat for 10 days and she was wonderful! She was so patient and spent plenty of time playing with my cat to keep her entertained. I really appreciated that she even helped vacuum the litter around the box, keeping the house nice and tidy. She even went the extra mile by helping me bring in a package while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend Soyoung and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I am a reliable and caring cat sitter who treats every cat like my own. I am comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats while following their routines and special needs. My goal is to keep your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.
“Erin was so sweet and took such great care of my kitties!! She provided detailed summaries of how the visits went and took tons of pictures to reassure me they were doing great. The kitties did great with her and I would highly recommend booking with Erin!😊”
“We went on vacation for a week and a half, and Gabriela stayed overnight with our 2 cats during that time. She did a great job taking care of them and giving us updates. Our cats take a little bit to warm up to people, but they warmed up to Gabriela pretty quickly and seemed to enjoy her company. She made sure to ask clarifying questions for anything she wasn’t sure about, and the house was very clean when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend her overnight services.”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!”
“Malia is so good with Luna Nova,, my 8 year old Rottweiler who also just had surgery. She takes the cutest pictures of her and gives me really good updates. She informs me if anything is concerning. I 100% trust her with my dog. She handled giving Luna her meds and a snack during the day to keep Luna from getting an upset belly. I totally recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like an individual, not just a booking. I’m patient and attentive, with experience caring for puppies (basic commands, potty routines, and leash manners) and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I pay close attention to body language and routines so dogs feel safe and understood. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I focus on calm, reliable care and clear communication with owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check ins so dogs get consistent attention and care. I’m used to managing routines like morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and quiet time, and I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs. Because animals are already a regular part of my life, caring for pets doesn’t feel rushed it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, use positive reinforcement only, and make sure pets feel comfortable and respected. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Keilah was such a great sitter. She was very quick to respond, very accommodating, and spent plenty of time making sure the pups were entertained while she dropped in for the hour. Definitely would book again!”
“Excellent care of my two cats. Litter box stopped working and she was able to clean and manage the issue for me while on vacation. Even accommodated another visit. Thank you for easing my worry.”
“Carissa was super great and helpful with watching our multiple cats. She was very detailed and attentive with the recap for each visit, with lots of good pictures of the cats. One of the cats is older, needing multiple medication; even with the complicated dosage, Carissa was very professional and had no problem administering both pills and eye drops. We were really happy to come home to such happy cats, and are so thankful for her help!”
“Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.”
About: I've cared for cats for over 15 years. I've also fostered several kittens through the Humane Society and socialized them to help them find their forever homes. I can administer any medications you cat has or special needs. Your pet will feel loved and cared for.

“If you're looking for a dog sitter who treats your pet like their own, look no further than Jie. She is my absolute hero when I'm on vacation. What stands out most is her genuine patience and thoughtful approach to my dog's needs. Her dog and mine are the best of friends, and it's clear they have so much fun together. She doesn't just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; she makes sure to dedicate time every single day to playing with him, which I know he loves. On top of all that, she sometimes cooks special food for Joey, which is a testament to her dedication. I am so grateful to have found someone so kind and caring to look after my doggy”
“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“I am so grateful to have found Soyoung through Rover! My 8-month old puppy, Archie, had a great time with her at doggy day care while I was in town for work. He had fun playing, going for walks, and zooming up and down her stairs. I loved getting his daily report cards, and he was absolutely exhausted and calm by the time we got back to the hotel in the evenings. I'm thrilled that I can take him with me for work travel because we now have a trusted sitter to rely on. I'm looking forward to future trips to the SCV area so we can book with Soyoung again.”
“Ru and family are very nice and warm with dogs. She has a dog as well and knows how to handle one very well. She requested a meet and greet to ensure Gabbar and her dog got along. She timely sent pictures and updates for Gabbar and followed his schedule through. She had a neighbors dog come along to her place when gabbar was there for a play date and Gabbar enjoyed a lot. I would definitely have Ru look over Gabbar again and would recommend others as well.”

“Yijing took great care of Koda during both stays. She proposed a meet and greet so Koda could meet her dog Pyro and she could get to know more about Koda, and asked a lot of thoughtful questions. During Koda’s stays, she provided many cute photos of Koda playing, resting, walking, and eating her homemade treats, and also gave us detailed updates. She was also responsive and easy to get ahold of for any questions. Koda obviously had a great time, and we felt reassured that Koda was in good hands with her.”
“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”

She also gave me useful advice to better train her. I really appreciate Billie’s effort and highly recommend her.”
“Yoona, Minjae, and Buddy were amazing with our puppy, Teddy. They shared many photos and videos of Teddy during the day. Teddy is very energetic so I am grateful that they could keep up with him. Best of all, Teddy looked very happy while staying with them. I would book with them again in a heartbeat.”
“Ahiram and her husband are amazing daycare sitters. They were very attentive and incredible with updates and responsiveness. Love the patience with our two kraken monsters (our dogs lol)”
About: Beanie is a 1 year old Fluffy Frenchie who adores all animals and would love to hang out with new friends whether it’s during the workday or for a weekend getaway while their paw-rents are away. I’ve been caring for fur babies for over two decades. While I took a break from formal pet sitting during the pandemic, I continued to care for the pets of family and close friends. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs including pups with separation anxiety (we’re big fans of outings together!), picky eaters (yes, hand feeding is on the table), and pets requiring medication (oral or topical). Recently, we welcomed Beanie into our home a sweet little Frenchie who reignited all my dog mom instincts. In just six months, we’ve been through it all: potty training, tummy troubles, ear infections, skin allergies, fleas, and even her first heat cycle. It’s been a wild and joyful ride, and now we’re excited to share the love (and all that experience!) by offering pet sitting services again. If you’ve got kitties, I’m happy to stop by daily for feeding, litter cleaning, play time, and to give them all the love they need. Have a special request? Feel free to message me we’d love to meet you and your furry family! I am a stay at home dog mom. Our schedule includes 6 outings a day with 2 long walks. Beanie gets lots of playtime, cuddles, brain teasers, and training. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. My apartment is fully puppy proofed and set up with a cozy, safe environment that encourages play, rest, and enrichment. We have a private patio for sunbathing, an on site dog park for quick outings, and plenty of walkable paths nearby for daily exercise. Because Beanie is still a pup, I’m extra mindful of supervision, routines, and creating a calm environment that feels safe and fun for visiting pets. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick closely to your instructions, provide detailed updates, and make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for while you're away. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and needs including those requiring medication, special diets, or just a little extra TLC. Feel free to share any unique needs I'm happy to accommodate!
“What a fantastic sitter! My puppy and I were truly in great hands. I was incredibly lucky to find Connor available at the last minute on Christmas Day. He went above and beyond—especially handling my dog’s separation anxiety, which I regrettably forgot to mention ahead of time. I would absolutely hire him again. Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas 🎁”
“We had a wonderful experience with Li-Ting as my dog sitter. She took care of our dog, Kobe, for the day, and I couldn’t have asked for a more kind and attentive caregiver. Kobe immediately felt comfortable with her, and she made sure he got his treats, eye drops, and medication on time. She also kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pics and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog, FaCai, was so sweet and friendly, and Kobe enjoyed having such a gentle companion during his stay. When we picked him up, Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Li-Ting’s patience, reliability, and loving approach. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter for their furry family member!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

I can clean up cat litter boxes or dog pads as needed. I can check on pets and provide cuddles and love.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.
“So glad I found Kayla! She was super sweet, reliable, easy to communicate with, and took such great care of my two dogs. This was my first time hiring someone to care for my pups, and she made it such a positive experience. I’d happily book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy with their dogs!”
About: Our family has cared for 5 dogs over the last 12 years, ranging from the cutest lab to a dane. I've even helped train hunting dogs in the off season sometimes. I'm currently a student studying at a University here in the bay so I have plenty of time to help with anything! I'm available most weekends and afternoons as well as some mornings throughout the week. I prioritize maintaining each pet's routine to make sure they feel comfortable when you are away. For walks or drop-ins I can help with making sure they get enough exercise, they have water or food, or even need to take some of their medicine. I'm always observant and love to provide detailed updates and photos after every visit so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy :)
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs since they were puppies, including feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing daily attention and exercise. Through my Veterinary Assistant (VA) course, I also gained foundational knowledge in animal handling, safety, hygiene, and pet wellness. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs every day. I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for pet care feels very natural to me. At home, I care for my own dogs with daily walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to keep them happy and healthy. For clients, I would provide the same level of care and attention through walks and daycare. I aim to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines, patience, and supervision are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: I absolutely love animals and have lots of experience caring for my friends’ dogs and cats. I also have a five-year-old Shiba Inu at home, so I’m very used to different moods, quirks, and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm buddy, I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Your fur baby will be treated like part of my own little animal family. I work from home, so I’m very flexible throughout the day. I take my own dog on daily walks, and I’m especially free on weekends to help with sitting or drop-in visits. When I pet sit, I always focus on safety, comfort, and understanding each pet’s personality. I have a five-year-old Shiba Inu, so I’m used to daily walks and caring for different moods and energy levels. I’ll make sure your pet feels relaxed, loved, and well looked after during every visit.
About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I truly believe dogs are "man's best friend" and I treat all of my dogs like members of my family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. I am currently working part-time while going to university right here in Santa Clara, so I'm pretty busy throughout the week, but as soon as the clock hits 5pm on Friday, I'm more than available to care for your dog. I am available Friday afternoons and all day long on Saturday, and Sunday, so you can enjoy your weekend without having to worry about your dog(s) at all. Since I am living on campus while I attend university, I cannot provide house-sitting services in my own residence, but I am more than comfortable caring for dogs in the homes of my clients and taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood.

“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“Matthew was very responsible and communicative. He provided many photo updates of our pup enjoying her stay, and flawlessly followed care instructions around medication, walking and feeding.”
“Pablo had such a great time with Sofiya! I got updates everyday about the furry friends he made, his adventures, and his health. I highly recommend and would choose Sofiya to dog sit Pablo in the future”
“Very good experience. Jie and her husband are true dog lovers and they help taking care of my dog azhao so well when I traveled in California. She had sending videos and pictures every day to me to update azhao’s status which is very helpful. The communication with her was so well throughout the whole boarding.”
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Rachel and C.W. have great reviews for a reason! We did a meet and greet and felt totally comfortable with them watching our pup for a few days. They had great communication and asked lots of questions about our dog’s schedule and nuances to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Don’t hesitate to have them care for your pet!”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Philip and Michael were great first-time sitters for our 2 year old German Shepherd/Husky and 1 year old Aussie Cattle Dog/Hound. Philip allowed a meet-n-greet in advance to see how our dogs got along with theirs, and he was patient and accommodating of our asks for their care. He sent videos and photos during their stay, and despite both dogs being anxious when we dropped them off, they were calm and settled, and 'part of the pack' when we returned. They were well looked after while we were away!”
“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”
“Lanie and Family were great with Hunter! With updates throughout the stay, and knowing that Hunter was well taken care of! Hunter definitely showed he enjoyed his stay, quite relaxed and happy!”
“Our goldendoodle, Lincoln, has stayed with Lana multiple times and both him and I are massive fans! Lana treats Lincoln as her own fur child and has even noticed things on him that I hadn’t previously. She’s an excellent communicator and is quick to respond to any requests or messages. I feel so much peace leaving Lincoln with Lana because I know he is getting superb treatment - she’s our go-to rover! Would absolutely recommend Lana to anyone who is seeking boarding services!”
“Audrina and Donny were amazing! They provided regular updates, were very responsive and too great care of my dog. They were able to keep my very active dog really engaged with regular walks, potty breaks, playing fetch and training him (last two were them going above and beyond). They were very knowledgeable about pet care and had asked me to fill out a questionnaire about my dog and his activities before the stay so that they can keep it as a reference during his stay. Audrina also has a very helpful drop off checklist covering all the stuff my dog would need for his stay. Would be looking for Audrina’s help for a future stay as well!”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Erika watched our energetic miniature schnauzer, Sally, over Easter weekend and did an amazing job! She kept us well-informed with regular updates and adorable pictures, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. Her home is very dog-friendly and secure — we never had to worry about Sally getting loose. Erika’s two 12-year-old kids gave Sally tons of attention and playtime, and she came home happy and tired (the best combo!). We’ll definitely be booking with Erika again the next time we’re out of town!”
“Xiaoyun took very good care of our fur baby Baloo, and he looked very happy while in her care. She was thorough in reading the instructions we provided, and asked questions to make sure she met Baloo’s needs. She was very good about sending us updates as well. I look forward to having her care for our pup again in the near future!”
“I would highly recommend Yoonji and Hyunjoong, and would definitely trust Bomi with them again. Bomi stayed with them for 5 nights over the Christmas holiday while we were out of town, and I was able to see in pictures they’d sent that Bomi was very comfortable with them and their dog Joey. Drop off and pick up communication was seamless, which is a big plus. You can tell that they are very caring people, so I immediately felt comfortable trusting them with Bomi.”
