“I can’t say enough about Chris. My frenchie came back happy and healthy after four days of staying overnight. I got updates every day and got the sweetest photos during my trip. Chris took my baby boy to see the Christmas lights, went on walks, runs, you name it. Now I’m worried Monkey is going to miss his new best friend lol. Thank you Chris for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my furry child.”
“Karrie and Andrew were so welcoming and friendly. This was the first time boarding our Golden Bear and everything went perfect. We received pictures everyday and our boy was very happy when we returned. Very happy to have met you both and thank you for taking such great care of Bear”
“What a wonderful family! Daisy was well cared for and loved on. I appreciate all the videos and great communication during Daisy's stay. Daisy enjoyed her time. Looking forward to her next stay.”
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“I had never boarded Oliver before, but Chase made us all - dog and humans - feel comfortable and confident right off the bat. He's got a great setup, a great schedule, and a great calm demeanor my dog instantly appreciated. We will definitely be back!”
“Neda treated our baby girl like an absolute queen! We reached out to her last minute as our usual dog sitter couldn’t watch Roxy. She agreed to let us meet her beforehand and we brought Roxy too- everyone vibed really well! Neda took Roxy on walks and gave us little updates with photos. You can tell Neda really has a passion for animal care and she treated Roxy like one of her own.”
“Kareen is a very calm, gentle and patient. She understood our dog was fearful of new situations and allowed her to adjust at her own rate. Kareen also allowed our dog to eat some of her dog’s food when our dog wouldn’t eat her own. We recommend Kareen and will continue to request her services!”
“Once again Ashley provided great care of our dog. She kept us updated throughout his visit, and it was apparent he had settled in comfortably. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you’re away from your pet.”
“Taylor had a wonderful stay with Hannah. Very personalized care. It was my first time using Rover and we were visiting from out of town so couldn’t do a meetup first. But Hannah answered all my questions, gave me updates and even sent pictures of all the fun she was having. Can’t say enough great things about our experience. Taylor even got a nice long walk before getting picked up for the 6 hour drive back home.”
“Dawn & her family are absolutely incredible dog sitters! This was our second time booking with Dawn, and for a longer trip it was amazing feeling so comfortable that my dog was in great hands the entire time.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Thomas. Pesto stayed with him over the Christmas holiday and my husband and I were so happy that Pesto felt so at home while we were away. Thomas sent lots of photos and videos and kept us updated with how Pesto was doing. We would absolutely recommend Thomas to anyone!”
“Rachel and Demetra are very nice and understanding. I've changed Cooper's schedule twice and they accepted it with no issues. They also responded to my messages right away! I'm pretty sure Cooper enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Brittany took great care of our dogs. One takes meds, and the other is super anxious. Both dogs were well cared for. Brittany walked them and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Highly recommended.”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! I travel for work and had been leaving Zoey at a camp. She would come home disheveled, tired and off her schedule. What a difference this time. Zoey was happy, spoilt with attention, ate well and came home clean, undisturbed in her schedule and happy. I felt at peace with no guilt for leaving her. Zoey is very skittish and easily frightened by noise but realized she was safe with her new BFF Elaine. Wonderful people and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Elaine & Marty♥️”
“Oil was great with Phoebe ! She sent us some pictures which were greatly appreciated. Phoebe had a wonderful time ! We would definitely consider leaving Phoebe with Oli again.”
“I would give more than 5 stars if I could! April and her family took EXCEPTIONAL care of my pup, Monkey! She sent many updates, photos and videos while I was away that I never had to wonder how Monkey was doing. Will definitely book again. Thank you!! 🙏🏻 🐒 😁”

“Jessica did a great job! This was my 2nd time using her. We had a last minute emergency and she was able to step in and take care of our kitty immediately. Will definitely book again!”
“Meghan is an incredible caretaker for any of your pets, and I recommend her highly for any of your pet needs while you go on vacations or business trips. I was really nervous leaving my cats while I went on a family vacation and was immediately relieved after getting Meghan’s detailed daily notes and pictures on how my cats were doing and the amount food they were eating daily. I really appreciated the effort Meghan made to put me at ease and feel confident they were fine and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Meghan for any pet care needs and will hire her again if she is available.”
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
“Ellie took great care of my two cats! I highly recommend booking with her, she was very caring and attentive. And during her visits she took some cute photos of them too, which I really appreciated so I could still see them while I was away.”
“Jeffrey has been a great help to us when traveling. He's cared for our dogs, cats, chickens, and even helped with watering some plants while we're gone during a heat wave. He is my go to for pet assistance when we go out of town.”
About: Family and friends have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every fur baby like my own—with love, patience, and lots of attention. I have experience administering medications to my own cats and always make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free.
About: 🥰 Now retired from Corporate America- I finally get to do what I love!! If you’re looking for Quality, Responsible and Experienced care for your pets- look no further! I have 45+ years experience with dogs, cats and horses. 🐴 🐈 🐶 Prior Volunteer @Agoura Animal Shelter I’ve been in love with pets since I was born. I’ve had many dogs over the years. I was raised with Dobermans, and had 2 of my own as an adult, in addition to a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab mix, 2 Min Pins and now, a Terrier/mix rescued from the meat trade in So. Korea. I’ve had one or more cats at a time since the day I was born (feral), and at one point, we rescued a pregnant kitty that had 4 kittens, which we kept and all lived long and cherished lives. My last kitty, “Little Girl”, was found by the grooms at the barn @ 3 weeks old. She was so wild, that she chewed the nipple off the bottle, and the Vet said it would never work! She recently passed at 19 years old, from CKD/Hyperthyroidism, which we both valiantly fought for 4 yrs. She was my soul cat- that I will miss for the rest of my life.💔 I’m an Equestrian- Horses are my passion! I’ve competed and owned horses for over 30 years, and have extensive knowledge of their care. I’m Insured and Pet 1st Aid/CPR Certified. I have experience medicating pets (ie:cats with Hyperthyroidism/CKD, etc dogs with pancreatitis, etc). Specialize in Senior pets. I know what it’s like to have to leave your beloved fur-babies home, especially if they aren’t feeling well! Whether they’re in tip top health, or in need of a little extra attention due to a medical condition, You can rest assured, that they will have the best care! I’m home full time now, and so available to meet the commitment and responsibilities of caring for your special fur-babies. Because feeding/walking and playing take time and attention- and every pet has its own unique and individual needs, sometimes they just need a little extra love and companionship❤️ Safety is my #1 priority! I will always ensure that your pets are safe, your home is secure and there is nothing within reach that could cause them harm. Additionally, walks are always done considering the environment, other pets and their proximity to your pet and the demeanor of both. No risks are ever taken.
“My rescue dog struggles with trusting people and when I contacted Emily about it she was so nice and gentle about her approach to meeting Shae. Ever since the meet and greet she was patient and loving and my dog ended up warming up to her in just a couple of visits. It is really hard to find someone who is truly caring and understanding of fearful dogs. She was also very accommodating to our needs, Thank you, Emily!”
“We have had Juan take care of our two cats five times and we don’t even consider hiring anybody else because he is the best! He and his girlfriend take great care of our cats and our home by providing us updates and adorable pictures of our cats. They even take the time to play with our cats, feed them treats, pet them, and ensure the house is safe. From the start, they’ve been great with receiving information about taking care of our cats and are very polite and adaptable when receiving new updates. We’ve been very grateful for them and would highly recommend!”
“Accepted my request for a last minute drop in visit. She was patient with my dog who is terrified of being around strangers when I’m not around. I just wish she didn’t let my dog pee on my couch 🙃”
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“Rachel definitely has a way with my kitties. They were immediately sociable and interactive with her and she really cared about their well being. I was able to relax and know that the girls were on great hands.”

“Christopher was wonderful with our boy. When it was time to come home, instead of being ready to leave he rolled over for a belly rub. My doggie is happy and so are we. Thank you so much.”

About: Hi I’m Lizzy, new here as sitter but have been on Rover for 8+ years. I’ve cared for many dogs over the years myself, having fostered and rescued and it brings me joy every time helping these amazing souls find the loving homes and humans that my dogs have. I work from home so I am here to give the love, care, and attention that your pet will need. I have senior care experience as well as puppy care. My loves are Zoei (14yr old Dachshund mix) and TaMollie (4 month old Miniature Dachshund). I have a fenced back yard for plenty of play and exercise. I have cared for 3 litters consisting of 7 puppies each at a time even having to supplement bottle some at times. I know first hand how important it is to find a safe and caring sitter for you pet while you are away and if I can help to ease the anxiety that comes with that task by looking after them, that right there is what it’s all about! I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and exercise your pet. Also being available for bathroom breaks as needed. Minimal crate time is what I like to go for. I have fenced yard and two small breed dogs to keep your dog company. They love meeting new friends and playtime is a blast. Safe supervised freedom is how I am with my pets.
“I was SO pleased with Thomas. My “dog” which was actually a 6 week old lamb, was well cared for. He was feed, and diaper was always dry when I picked him up. He sent me pictures of Winnie as well, and he was given lots of attention by Thomas and his adorable kids. I’d highly recommend to try him out. He was very accommodating, flexible, and such a pleasant person.”
“We are new to the area and are so happy to have found Travis and his family as a daycare sitter for our dog. Whiskey has had a great time playing with everyone in his house and we're totally at ease leaving him with Travis. We get text and pictures updates and he always comes home tired, which is a blessing for us! We're excited to keep using his services and would definitely recommend him.”

“Katie and her cute kids took great care of Buddy for a day. He played with them and their nice dog and had a great time in their big yard. They even took him for a walk and posted some sweet photos. I'm so glad and thankful to have had such great care for Buddy while we were busy all day!”
“Ayni & Alfonsus were so sweet! You can tell they really love and care for all fur babies! My dog Charlie had such a fun time & got along with their dog Boba so well. Got lots of photos and videos throughout the day too. Would definitely bring Charlie back!”

“Dodi was so wonderful! We had a lot of moving parts with our trip due to weather. She was flexible and worked with us while we figured out when we needed her to watch our puppy.

She was the perfect caregiver for our dog while we were away! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Michael was awesome with Sherman. Very communicative and quick to respond. He took Sherman on a longer walk than I normally do (he’s aggressive towards other dogs)! I will definitely book with Michael for all my pet walking needs!”

About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.
“Deana is the absolute best. I trust her completely with my 7 month old puppy. The biggest sign is that the puppy just loves her. She is excited for her arrival and greets her with excitement. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sara is an excellent pet sitter! We entrust her with the care of our senior dog, Jay. He is treated as if he were her pet. It is a great pleasure to have her take such good care of our pets, and I greatly appreciate her thoughtfulness. Having Sara care for my pets is everything that I look for in a pet sitter. She's warm, friendly, and responsible.”

“Cayley is absolutely amazing. We had never tried Rover before and our family was nervous of the thought of hiring a petsitter that wasn’t family. However after getting to know Cayley, we quickly became so comfortable and trusting in her work! After coming back from vacation, we can tell how loved and well cared for our furry-loved one has experienced. She will take great pics and nice detailed descriptions of how your pet is doing which will give you peace of mind. Overall, (like previously said) Cayley is exactly who you need to take care of your pets! :)”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. My family has always been animal lovers and always had animals in the house. I grew up taking care of my neighbors pets when they needed for walks, feedings, and baths. I am currently working part time and a student at Moorpark College! But I am free for house sitting almost any night and can stop by on my breaks and free time for walks, etc. I do not offer service in my own home, but I will always comply with your house rules and whatever your routine is for your pets.
About: I've owned pets for the past 33 years as an adult. (I was also raised with cats and dogs growing up.) As an empty nester I'm enjoying this phase in my life caring for other people's furry family members as well. I am a pet owner, so I treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am caring, reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and have A LOT of pet experience. I look for someone like myself when hiring a petsitter. I lead a very active lifestyle, usually I start my day at the gym or dance class then pick up dog walking jobs immediately following, mid-day or evening time. I do not have a job outside of the house besides petsitting. I have a completely fenced in large backyard. There is no way a dog could get out of my yard and I keep animals inside with me anyway, just go out for playtime and potty. I am aware that some pets like to try and escape so am extremely cautious when petsitting. I am thorough, clean up all dog poop and litter boxes, refill water bowls and feed animals as needed, give treats and/or medications as needed, and take dogs for walks. Currently I do not offer boarding because I am having home renovations being done and it would be disruptive/stressful for animals, but do plan on adding boarding at a later date.
About: Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play with their pets while away on vacations, I have owned dogs during childhood and currently have a cat I’m currently off for summer break, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most afternoons and evenings, with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Your pet will get lots of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and routines with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your pet’s schedule, feeding and walking routines, and any special instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure your home stays clean and secure while you're away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each dog as if they were my own. I’m very patient and intuitive, which helps me connect with dogs quickly and make them feel comfortable, whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between. I also have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs — I know how important consistency is with puppies (potty breaks, basic training, lots of play) and how gentle and attentive you need to be with older pups (slower walks, medication reminders, and comfort). On top of that, I’m reliable and communicative. I always keep owners updated with photos, notes, and quick responses so you can feel completely at ease while your pup is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already love being active and spending time outdoors. Going on walks, getting fresh air, and having playtime with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like “work.” I also have a flexible schedule as a student, which means I can fit in walks, check-ins, and extra time for care throughout the week. Caring for pets blends perfectly into my routine and is something I look forward to doing regularly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible — whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite toys. I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, so I pay close attention to the details you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and left as I found it. With walks and drop-in visits, I always double-check that collars/harnesses are secure, keep water bowls full, and give plenty of playtime, love, and attention. I like to send regular updates with photos, so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My focus is on safety, comfort, and making sure each pet feels cared for and loved until you’re back home.
About: All my life I have loved and cared for the dogs and cats in my family! I may have even been the instigator of all of them being brought into our family. ;) I have worked with a variety of dogs ranging from Shepards to precious three legged mystery origin dogs! I’ve been seriously house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking for two years. I care for other people's animals like I do for my own. They are always a priority for me. I am responsible, dependable, and easy to work with. I will do anything to keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy! I'm new to the area. I have a lot of free time to care for other people's animals! I am highly flexible and happy to work with your schedule. I am unable to provide boarding for animals where I am living at the moment. But I am able and willing to come to you to take care of your pets. House and pet sitting are my main areas of experience! Anything I am asked to do or rules to follow in other peoples homes I abide by. I will treat your home and space with the care and respect I would expect others to have in my home. This also applies to any guidelines or rules for walking. I am also highly prone to lots of serious animal snuggles when they are wanted. :)
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether you need last-minute help or consistent weekly care, I’m reliable and responsive and will make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I’m attentive to behavior and body language to ensure they feel comfortable, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: For 20+ years I have been a dog owner and have raised puppies, and adopted and fostered kittens. Now we have a cat and chickens, too. We are a pet-loving family and treat any pets we take care of as our own. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am available for boarding and day care 7 days a week, including most holidays. When your pet is here, they are a part of the family. We have a large fenced/gated yard (we are on a half acre lot!) with plenty of room for your pet to play and explore! We have a 8 year old German Shepherd mix who loves other animals and would love to keep your dog company. Our home is smoke-free and we have it professionally cleaned weekly.

“I can’t say enough about Chris. My frenchie came back happy and healthy after four days of staying overnight. I got updates every day and got the sweetest photos during my trip. Chris took my baby boy to see the Christmas lights, went on walks, runs, you name it. Now I’m worried Monkey is going to miss his new best friend lol. Thank you Chris for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my furry child.”
“Karrie and Andrew were so welcoming and friendly. This was the first time boarding our Golden Bear and everything went perfect. We received pictures everyday and our boy was very happy when we returned. Very happy to have met you both and thank you for taking such great care of Bear”
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“I had never boarded Oliver before, but Chase made us all - dog and humans - feel comfortable and confident right off the bat. He's got a great setup, a great schedule, and a great calm demeanor my dog instantly appreciated. We will definitely be back!”
“Neda treated our baby girl like an absolute queen! We reached out to her last minute as our usual dog sitter couldn’t watch Roxy. She agreed to let us meet her beforehand and we brought Roxy too- everyone vibed really well! Neda took Roxy on walks and gave us little updates with photos. You can tell Neda really has a passion for animal care and she treated Roxy like one of her own.”
“Once again Ashley provided great care of our dog. She kept us updated throughout his visit, and it was apparent he had settled in comfortably. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you’re away from your pet.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Thomas. Pesto stayed with him over the Christmas holiday and my husband and I were so happy that Pesto felt so at home while we were away. Thomas sent lots of photos and videos and kept us updated with how Pesto was doing. We would absolutely recommend Thomas to anyone!”
“Rachel and Demetra are very nice and understanding. I've changed Cooper's schedule twice and they accepted it with no issues. They also responded to my messages right away! I'm pretty sure Cooper enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Romeo was so happy during his stay. I loved that Erica sent me photos . Her daughter is also amazing and both cared for my dog. When I picked up Romeo he was so happy, I could tell he had a great vacation. Thank you both so much.”
“Katie was exceptional! Her family welcomed Lyla my Great Dane and enjoyed playing with her much. Not only did she care for Lyla but also kept me updated through out the day. Getting photos of her definitely made the experience a whole lot better as this was my first time boarding Lyla. Thank you Katie. I highly recommend her!”
“Aria was awesome and we will definatly be bringing our pup back when we need a Rover. Communication was excellent, all requests were met, we got tons of pictures, and our pup came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much, Aria!”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Erin and Ken were AMAZING! I felt very comfortable and happy knowing that my pup was well taken care of in a loving home with another pup to hang with. They sent update photos and were extremely responsive with communication. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have your pup stay somewhere for a few nights and I will definitely be contacting them for my next trip out of town.”
“Amazing! We had a request last minute… within hours of drop off. Cassandra not only accommodated our guy but did an awesome job. She is very communicative, kept him busy and sent pictures along the way. We definitely recommend and will hopefully get to hire her again!”
“We have searched for a family like Nadia’s and are so grateful to have found them. Kona is a loving and energetic lab and loves to cuddle. Nadia is the first sitter to send pictures and updates without me asking. For the first time we can go away and know Kona is happy and loved. A Million Thank Yous to Nadia and her family. 🐾”
“Maryam was absolutely wonderful with Fiona. She was very accommodating when I needed to change the dates, which I truly appreciated. She also took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so our dogs could meet, which made me feel even more comfortable. Her dog is very friendly and gets along well with small dogs, and Fiona fit right in. Maryam kept me updated with pictures and clearly took such great care of Fiona. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Maryam to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Silvana has become our sitter now and our dog runs to the front door now and barely looks back. Silvana and her husband have made us so at ease knowing our pup is in good hands and cared for while we’re away. I’m always anxious to leave our pup with someone new and Silvana has been wonderful. 💛”
