“Candy was great. I felt she really cared about my pup and wanted to do the absolute best job she could. She was very attentive and sent me daily updates while I was out of town. I had some special requests and she was very willing to accommodate me. Most importantly, I truly felt like my pup was in safe hands and that was key for me to have a relaxing vacation... which I did. Thanks again Candy! ”
“Wow, what can I say other than I wish I found Nadege years ago!! From the get go she is super responsive & set up a meet & greet immediately. My dog Kramer was immediately comfortable and Nadege had great energy and a perfectly set up dog friendly home. Nadege was also very flexible with Kramers finicky food choices. I was gone for a week and I think she just about sent me photos daily which put me at ease, thanks Nadege!! ??”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely love building trust with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and any special needs so each dog receives personalized, loving care. I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home part of the week and provide attentive care. I’m available for boarding on Fridays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, walks, and playtime while in my care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for pets in my home. While I don’t have a yard, I take dogs out for frequent walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day to ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. I closely follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, can crate pets if needed, and prioritize supervision, communication, and your pet’s comfort and safety at all times.
“Ryan & Abbey were great. Lula had plenty of pups to play and nap with and had a great time. We got pics and videos every day and they are so nice. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Morgan was so fantastic, I’m so happy we found her! She communicates clearly, sends photos often and is so great with Bodie! We had an emergency and had to extend our dog’s care an extra night and Morgan was able to help without any questions, a lifesaver! We will be using her again for our next trip!”
“We feel so safe keeping our sweet girl with Jennifer and Austin. They are so caring, attentive, reachable, and really go above and beyond. We are so grateful to have found them!”
“I could have not asked for a more amazing pet sitter!! This guy is incredible. He and his lovely dog Q-pid took incredible care of Bodhi. I had not left Bodhi with anyone before and didn't worry about him one bit. He was also happy to meet me at a local park for our first introduction prior to keeping Bodhi. He sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. Will certainly use again!”
“Renata takes such great care of our dog and tends to her special needs while we are away. I have always felt so comfortable leaving our dog-child with Renata when we go on trips. She sends lots of great photos and updates and provides such helpful feedback. Thank you again, Renata!”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She took such great care of our dog, Charcoal, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Charcoal was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention they gave him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Charcoal!”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away.

“Monica was wonderful with Chi Chi! I was immediately put at ease when I dropped her off as I was nervous to use rover.. it was my first time! She updated me with multiple photos and let me know how chi chi was doing. I will definitely reach out to Monica again to watch chi chi no doubt!!❤️”
“Audrey loved staying with Marcelo and his wife! They kept a close eye on her the entire time and I love that they have a fenced back yard for her to run around in. Will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“It was my first time using Rover and I had a very good first experience. Mackenzie came for a meet and greet and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. She did a great job communicating and handling my cats having to be separate for the weekend. I would def rebook with her .”
About: I grew up with cats and started pet sitting at 16. In college, my roommates and I worked with a local vet office to foster a cat and her 4 kittens. They stayed with us until they were old enough and we helped find them all loving homes!
About: I grew up with 3 rescue cats and have a cat of my own. I have experience with co-fostering a cat with health issues and assisting with a cat's weight-loss journey. I also have experience with senior cat caretaking.
“Booked Gina for my kitty babies and she did great! They loved her 🥰 will definitely be a repeat client. Very caring and kept me informed and updated the whole time, even offered to get them things if needed it. Highly recommend her for your furr baby needs”
About: Experience I have with doggos comes a lot from my baby Sophie. I’ve been raising her since she was a few months old all the way to today at 15 years old. I learned a lot about dogs and how to take care of them because of her. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits great in my schedule. I’m an independent contractor so I’m able to walk dogs then start my other job whenever I’m done with the walks or drop ins. I’m very attentive and always want to make sure the fur babies are in a nice cool environment getting treats, belly rubs, and outdoor stimulation.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
“Jen took great care of our 3 cats while we were away, taking a lot of pictures, even if 2 of them kept hiding from her. At least one of them adopted her, the other 2 are need more time (they are quite afraid of everything).”
“Emma was amazing with my cat Acorn this past week. She sent picture/video updates and I can tell Acorn was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Sherman Oaks area!”
“Iana was really great. To start, she is very sweet and listened carefully to my explanation of my cat’s needs and quirks. I invited her over to meet her ahead of our booking just so she could get a sense of my cat’s personality. She responds to messages quickly and has a very nice apartment in Sherman Oaks with lots of light for those cats that love to lay in the sun throughout the day. Loved getting daily pictures and videos while we were away. We already have another booking scheduled. Thank you!”
About: I currently live with two cats, so cat care isn't something I've just read about, it's my daily reality! I understand that cats are highly sensitive to changes in their environment and routine, which is exactly why a calm, consistent presence during a drop-in visit matters so much. I know how to move through a cat's space without creating stress, how to read whether they want engagement or just quiet company, and how to make sure they're eating, comfortable, and settled before I leave. Every visit includes a photo update so you can see for yourself that your cat is doing well.
“As usual, Kerry is a Godsend. My kitty cat was healthy and happy after our return from vacation over 2.5 weeks. I should be jealous at how easily forgotten I was by my cat once Kerry took over. She’s so professional and caring. Def our go to sitter when we are away. Thanks Kerry and thank you Rover.”
“Rachel was great with our new dog, Bruce! He gets nervous when he is home alone at the moment, but Rachel made Bruce feel safe and calm. Giving lots of attention and cuddles. Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlin is communicative, responsive, clean, and caring. She did a great job taking care of my outdoor kitty when he had to be inside for 10 days while I was away for the holidays. She gave him plenty of love and playtime. She is patient, easygoing, and rolls with the punches. I highly recommend anyone looking to work with her.”
“Keianna is awesome! She is such a sweet and kind person, and I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. One of my cats can be anxious around new people, and she was very patient and respectful with him. She sent lots of updates and pictures of them playing and having a nice time! I highly recommend her :)”
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

“Sandi is the best! Orion is very anxious in new places with new people but she got so excited when she saw Sandi again. I’m glad she can have a new home away from home.”
“So glad I found Ashton and Jay. Simon is a shelter dog who is nervous around new people and has leash aggression, so I only felt comfortable reaching out to sitters that mentioned having experience with rescues. Simon seemed very comfortable, and really enjoyed his day, with Ashton and Jay. Coming back soon!”
“So glad I found Brooke! My dog has a big separation anxiety but she came back happy. She sent me photos and let me know how she was doing while I was away. I feel my pup loved her and I’ll def leave my pup again when I need to!”
“I can’t speak highly enough about Chan and the care he had for our pup, Otis. Chan was extremely communicative prior to our first meeting and made us & Otis feel very comfortable. During Otis’ stay, Chan was great about sending us photos and updates and you could tell Otis was having a blast. It was great to see him getting along with Chan’s dog as well & he was wiped by the time I picked him up, which is exactly what we wanted! 10/10 would recommend Chan watching your pup.”
“They took great care of our dog, kept us updated with photos and videos it really gave us peace of mind seeing how happy our dog was, we would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone”
About: Growing up having three dogs (all Great Pyrenees), I have always had a deep love of animals, but particularly dogs. I am very comfortable with any size of dog, and make sure to love them as much as their owner does. I am always the pet sitter in my friend group and I take pride in being dependable, communicative with owners, clean, and someone the dog can bond with. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out <3 I am currently working full-time, however I am very flexible and have open availability. I am most free weekdays and weekend mornings. Regardless of the day or time, I will make sure to be there for your pet! I have no animals so I can put full attention on your pet. I live in a small, dog friendly complex with a park nearby. I have room to kennel your pet if needed. The complex is not fenced.
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in Los Angeles. I have cared for many breeds, ages, and personalities, including dogs with medical needs such as English Bulldogs. What sets me apart is the level of care and love I give. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I carefully follow routines, special instructions, and health needs. Our building has a private dog park, which makes potty breaks and daily walks easy and safe. Dogs get regular outdoor time in a secure space without busy streets, helping them feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am always at home. I do not work outside the house, so I am able to give dogs full attention throughout the day. I am available every day for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and always have someone watching over them. I enjoy having dogs around and caring for them is part of my everyday life. I care for dogs in my home with lots of love, patience, and attention. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, follow their routines, and take them out for potty breaks and walks three to four times a day. I also spend time playing with them and giving them affection so they feel calm and happy. My building is quiet, dog friendly, and safe. It has a private dog park, which allows dogs to go outside easily without walking on busy streets. This creates a relaxed and secure environment for potty breaks, exercise, and optional interaction with other dogs if they enjoy it. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home.
“Absolutely wonderful!! Feel so blessed to have found someone as amazing and caring as Nicole??. I was so worried about finding a new pup sitter I felt safe with after the woman I used for many years decided to move out of state. Nicole responded to my rover inquiry right away, her communication before and during my stay was excellent. Thank you for being so kind and accommodating!! You truly went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy and taken care of during her stay. Nicole made my little Pom feel right at home w her family on the first day. She updated me all day long with photos of my baby eating, napping and just hanging out. I felt at ease knowing she was receiving so much love and attention. I will absolutely become a return client for future doggy daycare or overnight sitting whenever your available Nicole?Thank you for taking such good care of Carmel.??”

“Thrilled that Micah lives near us! He is clearly such a thoughtful and attentive person (with people and dogs) and is very communicative. We definitely hope to have our dog Bo spend time with him again.”
“I could tell Swati is great with dogs as soon as Sesame met her! Sesame and Stella had a blast - from the photos and videos Swati sent to keep me updated, they seemed to have played and gotten along the entire time. Swati was also super helpful in accommodating my last minute request to watch Sesame and me running late. I’d definitely work with Swati again and I’m sure Sesame would be excited as well to see Stella :)”
“Elaine and Marcelo took great care of our Milo today! Three walks and lots of attention. They have a great home and yard for an active dog. They are easy to work with and provide plenty of updates.”
“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”

About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and individual needs. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care I’d want for my own pets. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 I’m currently available all week but I will have a flexible schedule soon and that will be updated then! I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I strictly follow your pet’s routine for feeding, medication, and bathroom breaks. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can. I ensure all gates, crates, and doors are locked during and after every visit. You will receive regular updates with photos and notes on behavior, appetite, and activities.
About: I had the pleasure of growing up alongside the most wonderful mix of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a rat, a chinchilla, a hedge hog, fish, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, a pigeon, quails, and even a peacock! My parents showed me the ropes of pet care long ago when they started a horse boarding stable and their own Rover pet sitting service. I joined them on many dog walks, cat visits, and pet feedings, enjoying the time we got to share with so many animals. I now own two beautiful guinea pigs named Bob and Teddy that definitely border on spoiled in their luxury pig oasis. I personally can't imagine life without the joy pets bring us, and I want to make sure your pets get the same love you give them when you're away! I currently run an Etsy shop out of my apartment, so I am always able to quickly get to your pets as needed. I am free to fit the schedule of your pets to ensure their normal feedings and play times remain untouched when you're away. Since I already commonly work on the weekends for my shop, I have no problem getting the chance to care for your pet any day of the week. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet to follow with care. As someone who knows animals, I know their routines are vital to their comfort. I will happily let pets out in a fenced yard, go for walks, and feed to their needed schedule. I'm also very willing to care for a variety of pets! The less common Rover clients deserve love and care, too!
About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

About: Hi! I'm Andrea, a Sherman Oaks local, mom, and lifelong animal lover who's been around dogs and cats my whole life (including the two cats currently running my home). I know what it means to hand your pet off to someone and hope for the best, and I want to be the person you never have to worry about. I offer 30 and 60 minute dog walks, dog drop-in visits, and cat drop-in visits for pets who need a little company and attention during the day. Every visit includes a photo update and a quick note about how your pet did. I know that stuff matters when you're at work wondering how they're doing! I keep my client list intentionally small so I can give every animal real attention, not just a rushed loop around the block or a quick bowl refill. Meet-and-greets are always included before we get started; I want to make sure it's a good fit for your pet, not just a booking. I'm based in Sherman Oaks and cover the surrounding Valley neighborhoods. If you're looking for someone consistent, reliable, and genuinely invested in your pet's wellbeing, I'd love to connect! I keep my client list small and intentional, which means your pet is never an afterthought in a packed day. Visits are scheduled with enough buffer time so I'm never rushed and your pet gets my full attention, not a quick check-in between back-to-back bookings. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care I'd want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and never cut a visit short. For dog walks, I use your pet's own leash and equipment unless you prefer otherwise, and I stay aware of the environment around us like other dogs, traffic, anything that could affect your pet's safety. For cat drop-ins, I move calmly through your space, make sure food, water, and litter are taken care of, and spend real time with your cat rather than just completing a checklist.

The backyard is also fenced. Frequent potty breaks and routine feeding schedule for your baby
About: I’m newer to Rover but not new to loving animals 😊 I’ve helped care for pets for people in my life and quickly became the one they trust to check in, walk, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m also very attentive to routines and will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have complete availability and am able to work on you and your furry friend’s schedule! I am able to provide drop ins multiple times a day as well! Your pet’s comfort and safety is my priority, so I appreciate learning of their preferences and safe spaces within their home! I’m always willing to meet them where they’re at, respect any boundaries and be a respectful guest in their safe space.
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.
“I booked Lindsay last minute to help my sister with her doggies after surgery made getting them out for walks tough. Lindsay was a great communicator and was super helpful. The dogs were well taken care of and loved their walks. Thanks so much Lindsay!”

“Candy was great. I felt she really cared about my pup and wanted to do the absolute best job she could. She was very attentive and sent me daily updates while I was out of town. I had some special requests and she was very willing to accommodate me. Most importantly, I truly felt like my pup was in safe hands and that was key for me to have a relaxing vacation... which I did. Thanks again Candy! ”
“I got super lucky when I chose Kristina and the family to watch my puppy while I went to Boston. They took great care of her and kept me updated every step of the way. I look forward to going back to them!”
“Sandi did so well with Moe and Socks! They felt right at home the moment we dropped them off. Sandi is very well experienced with dogs and kept us updated with photos. She was very accommodating to our needs! Her and her husband are so friendly and very welcoming. We will definitely be boarding our pups with them in the future to come :)”
“Emma was great for my dog, Pig! I could tell that Pig was comfortable with her right from the start. Emma sent pictures throughout the stay which was very appreciated.”
“Could not be happier with my experience! They are extremely genuine and fun to work with. My two year old German Shepherd seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“Kodi loves Brenda her family, and her dog Leeloo. He's always reluctant to leave them. She's so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend her boarding.”
“Morgan was so fantastic, I’m so happy we found her! She communicates clearly, sends photos often and is so great with Bodie! We had an emergency and had to extend our dog’s care an extra night and Morgan was able to help without any questions, a lifesaver! We will be using her again for our next trip!”
“Renata takes such great care of our dog and tends to her special needs while we are away. I have always felt so comfortable leaving our dog-child with Renata when we go on trips. She sends lots of great photos and updates and provides such helpful feedback. Thank you again, Renata!”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She took such great care of our dog, Charcoal, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Charcoal was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention they gave him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Charcoal!”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them again.”
“my shy only child got a chance to spend some time around other dogs and cats while i was away. Barbara said they brought her around everywhere they went and tried buying her wet food and treats since she wasn't eating her kibble (but she just doesn't really eat in unfamiliar settings). pretty responsive!”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Angela did an outstanding job while taking care of our dog for a week. I was kept updated on a daily basis about Ralphie’s behavior and any concerns or questions. Angela sent me many photos of Ralphie at home and from walks. She gave him a bath before we picked him up. Angela accommodated and was very clear about the drop off and pickup instructions. No fuss. Although, this was my first time that we had Angela taking care of Ralphie, I was completely relieved. Ralphie was very happy and was probably disappointed having to leave Angela and her paw-friendly home. Angela will be my go-to pet-sitter in the future and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Angela for your amazing care!”
“Title: Outstanding Care for Our Beloved Spike From the very first meeting, it was clear that Stephen and his partner, the dog sitters, were something special. Our 16 months old Spike took to them instantly. Throughout his stay, I was reassured with regular pictures and updates that not only showed me just how comfortable he was, but also how much fun he was having. It's not often you come across sitters who genuinely treat your pet as their own, but this is exactly what they did. Their thoughtful service exceeded all my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any pet parent out there seeking peace of mind while away from their furry friend. Spike is already looking forward to his next visit!”
“Rita is the best sitter ever! She’s incredibly informative and attentive. Anytime something seemed off or questionable with my dog, she was on it immediately. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands.”
“Stacey was great! I had my senior dog with her for two weeks while I was out of the country and it brought me great comfort to know she was in such good hands. I got daily updates telling me how well my dog was doing along with Photos. In spite of the rain, they made it out every day and my dog left very happy. Grateful to have found Stacey!”
“Tyler was absolutely amazing during his week with my 9 yr old, but still high energy, Riley. He's very clearly a dog lover to his core and my little girl warmed to him immediately. He was very responsive, kept me updated w photos and stories all week, and each showed my baby happy as could be. We won't hesitate to call on Tyler next time I'm out of town.”
“Alyssa was a great sitter for my pup. Quick to respond, sent lots of pics and was very accommodating. Her pup Leo is adorable and got along great with mine. Her yard is a great bonus. Highly recommend!”
“This was my pup’s first stay with Ori but I know it won’t be the last. She came home tired and happy. Ori has such a nice set-up for the dogs, lots of stimulation and engagement! And she sent sweet updates and photos while I was away. Lyric says “thank-you!””
