“Working with Star was great! 😊 We left Milo our 6-month old shepherd mix for two days. It was great that we could leave him and get updates from her afterwards. We are glad Milo enjoyed his stay.”
“Claudia was so sweet with our pup and made it easy to leave him with a sitter for the first time! She did a great job of answering our questions prior to drop off and made sure our dog had everything he needed while he was in her care. We know he had a great time with Claudia because she sent us pictures throughout our time apart. Claudia - thank you for making this such a great first experience!”
“Mel is an excellent dog sitter! We booked our first day care before my dog, Lucifur, was diagnosed with some limiting orthopedic issues that will soon require surgery. That means he now has to have his movement someone restricted to protect him from injury. When I gave Mel this update and asked if he would still be able to care for Lucifur, he was enthusiastic to watch him. In fact, when I arrived on the first day, Mel had thoughtfully set up a secure area for Lucifur to relax in AND had a plan to keep our dogs separated so Lucifur wouldn't get over excited and run/jump around. Mel was really thoughtful in ensuring that Lucifur had an environment that was safe and he put me at ease. Lucifur enjoys hanging out with Mel and Roxy and I feel confident that he's in great hands. Mel will be out #1 Rover choice from now on!”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover. After losing my Basset Hound of 13 years to cancer last August, life hasn’t been the same. He was my sidekick and my carpool buddy. He taught me what it truly meant to love an animal though and how when it is real love, they can’t help but becoming part of the family. I’m still debating on when will the right time to get another dog will be, but in the mean time I miss be around dogs and I think this would be a great way to get back in the swing of things. Walking is not only therapeutic for the human but for the dog! I will make sure your pup is well exercised, safe and loved! I am a stay at home mom so I am very flexible to your and your pups schedule! I am an active person so taking a dog along with me is the cherry on top!

When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

I also feed the stray cats on my street and have even named them all :) i’m currently a college student who works part time so i’m available to walk your babies in the afternoons and occasionally in the mornings :) I have one friendly little dog who keeps to herself and also could accommodate any animal and crate them if instructed by their parents :)
About: I started keeping cats in 2015, and currently I care for three cats and three dogs. The dogs are small breeds (a Shiba Inu and a Maltese), while the cats are American Shorthairs. My work primarily involves night shifts, so I have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets, look after them, and monitor their health. In China, I gained three years of experience providing in-home care for cats and dogs; I am adept at handling various basic feeding routines as well as unexpected situations.
About: I am a Certified Veterinarian Technician. I know how to administer all kinds of medication, pills, liquid, injection. I have experience with all types of dogs and cats, from tiny to large, introverted to extroverted, puppy to senior, calm to aggressive. I have had dogs, and cats all of my life!

We were nervous because it was our first time leaving our Cali with anyone but Star helped us feel better by answering all our questions. We would definitely recommend Star and use her again!”

“We recently boarded our dog with Xueqing for a 2nd time and can't thank her enough for the incredible care she provided to Morgan. Leaving a pet is always stressful, but she treats Morgan like family. The communication was outstanding; we received daily videos and comprehensive reports on Morgan's new friendships, habits, and behavior- this level of transparency and genuine care is rare. Thank you for looking after our floof so well!”
“Mel was awesome. My dog is very picky and has separation anxiety- she usually does not do well at the doggy hotel…. She refuse to eat and doesn’t socialize much. Mel was very accommodating and sent me pictures daily to inform me how Matcha was doing. She got along with his dog, also a boxer like mines. I definitely recommend him to others- I travel at ease knowing Matcha was well taken care of.”

“This was my third time leaving snoopy my dog with Yilin. I was late dropping off snoopy but Yilin was very understanding about it. And just like the previous times, I have peace of mind leaving my dog with someone who I can see treats him good. I feel very comfortable, and will be booking again this coming weekend if she is available.”
“Suzhen was both kind and positive as we dropped off our 3 large (64 lbs +) furries at her clean, spacious home and yard. We were on our way from West Covina to Laguna Beach for the Pageant of Masters and Diamond Bar was right on the way. Suzhen and her family were obviously experienced with larger dogs and seemed to have no trouble or fear handling, walking or entertaining our furry critters. She sent several video clips of our three monsters and we appreciated and enjoyed seeing them while we were away! Thank you, Suzhen! We are very, very pleased and over joyed with our furry family returned happy and alert, with no ill effects whatsoever. Job well done! Sincerely, Ken & Tammy, Denali, Kai & Maui”
“Exceptional Dog Sitter - Highly Recommended! I am thrilled to share my wonderful experience with Lauren. From the moment we met, it was clear that she have a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. Communication: Lauren was always prompt and thorough with communication, providing daily updates and photos of our furry friend. It was reassuring to know how our dog was doing and to see [him/her] happy and well-cared-for. Care and Attention: Our dogs received exceptional care and attention. Lauren went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, entertained, and loved. One of my dogs often ran away from Wag and had traumatic experiences at Petsmart dog camp (diaherra and vomiting). One of my dogs have severe separate anxiety. Lauren gave my dog space with incredible patience. I was so thrilled to see that one of my dogs warm up with her. My dogs came back to me happier when I picked them up. Lauren even managed to keep up with our dog's energetic playtime needs. Professionalism: Lauren took her responsibilities seriously, giving us peace of mind while I am away. Special Touches: The extra touches, like taking our dog for extra-long walks made all the difference. Our dogs came back to us happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Overall Experience: We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Lauren exceeded all my expectations and provided an outstanding service. I will definitely be booking her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Lauren, for taking such amazing care of our beloved pet. I am entirely grateful to find a wonderful sitter. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Five star with how fast they respond. From the time I sent request for booking, during my vacation out of town, Oi replied within few minutes. I was away for whole one week, and while they don’t send multiple updates throughout the day, I completely understand that some pet owners prefer not to be bothered constantly. I really appreciated the trust I could place in them to care for my dog without feeling overwhelmed with messages. My dog was happy and well taken care of, (and even bathed) and I’d definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful caregiver”
“First time using Jahni but it will not be the last. She was great. Sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Took them on quite a few walks. Pups were so tired when they came home. Highly recommend.”
“I am so happy with Yibo and Janie. I can leave Jett and know he is being taken care of. He loves his walks, playing ball, and meeting new doggie friends I find Jett very happy. Thank you both”
“Liqiong was able to care for my cat, Bingsu, last minute and was so wonderful with her. She was very thorough and made sure Bingsu was comfortable the entire time. I'll be sure to bring her back next time!”
