“We couldn't be happier with the care that my senior pughuahua, Goldie Hawn, received from Isao and Rezairyl. They are truly "animal people," and they treated her like part of their "pack" and sent us photos/updates that assured us she was in good hands. They even made Goldie special treats and washed her little sweater once, since she stayed for over a week during the holidays. When we picked her up she was very calm and happy. Goldie and I couldn't recommend these amazing hoomans more!”
“Sunny took great care of our dog who can be quite shy with new people. Ralphie was in great hands and it really allowed us to enjoy our trip. She was very responsive and gave detailed updates. Ralphie will for sure be back!!”
“Shannon was a wonderful caregiver for Dumbles! He is a bit of a handful—anxious around new people (pandemic puppy) and also still very feisty and full of energy. Shannon wasn't phased at all by my worries about Dumbles and it was clear from just meeting her that her low-key energy made Dumbles comfortable right away. Honestly, it was embarrassing how quickly he just headed off to her car with her without a second glance at us, haha! Shannon did a great job communicating with us and sending us photos of Dumbles looking happy with her - snuggling in her bed, asking for treats, going on walks, and generally looking very much at home with her. She was responsive to texts and Rover messages, and was very flexible with her time (we switched up to having her deliver him back to us rather than us picking him up and she was like "no problem!"). Mostly, it was clear that she loved having Dumbles, and Dumbles loved staying with her. We hope all of our dogsitters are as wonderful as Shannon. Thank you, Shannon! May we meet again!”
“Megan and her family were so kind and took great care of Nixon! He can be a really picky eater and nervous in new environments, so she even hand-fed him when he refused to eat. Their home is clean and smells amazing. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Megan’s services again. Thanks Megan!”
“This was Duggan’s second stay with Rachel but his first overnight ever! She took very good care of him and sent us lots of updates. He made a new dog friend and came back exhausted from all the play time and walks. He passed out before we even got home!”
“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“There is no place like Michael and Lara’s house to take your furry family members! Brutus loves it there. Lots of other dogs to play with, balls to chase and love from the family that cares for him like their own!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Vanessa watched my Toki for me for 3 nights and she did the most amazing job! I like to keep Toki clean and she came back to me in very pristine condition. I feel so comfortable leaving Toki with Vanessa, I’ll definitely book again 🎉”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“Denise is fantastic. I have a challenging dog and she was knowledgable, personable, and made me feel at ease. She asked the right questions and my dog loves her. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Flexible and reliable! Mary did a wonderful job of caring for the cats and handling any issue that popped up. We were able to travel stress free knowing they were in good hands, and appreciated the daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“Laura is a sweet and attentive person who is a pleasure to talk to. The pets all come to greet her when she comes over and she gives them lots of love. She goes above and beyond regarding what I needed and doesn’t rush. Thank you so much.”
“Emily was responsive and great with our cat. There was a bit of a scheduling hiccup with visit timing, but she communicated well and we worked it out quickly.”

About: Lifelong cat person here! I grew up with cats and have a genuine love and understanding of feline personalities. Anyone who has spent real time with cats knows they live life on their own terms, and I've learned to speak their language. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm space where even the shyest cat can feel comfortable. I've cared for friends' cats on multiple occasions and bring that same trusted, attentive care to every home I visit. Your cat stays in their own familiar space, on their own schedule, with someone who truly gets them.
“Jasmine was really great and kept us constantly updated with lots of pictures. Both of our fur babies got lots of attention and one on one care. She also cleaned up after herself and the animals. When our flight was delayed, she also came back and gave them dinner which we really appreciated!”
About: Cats are truly my specialty. I’m a longtime cat owner and actively involved in rescue, fostering, TNR and community cat care. I’m experienced with everything from social, playful cats to shy, fearful and special-needs personalities. I understand feline behavior and know how important patience, routine and trust are. I’ll give your cat the same attentive, loving care I give my own.
“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my two cats while I was out of town for a few days! 🥹💕 She was so sweet and kind, and gave me such great updates and the cutest photos throughout their stay. It was so clear from every update that they were having the best time with her and felt completely comfortable. They warmed up to her SO quickly, honestly probably the quickest they ever have with someone new, which made me so happy! 🐱💗 She took such great care of them and I felt totally at ease knowing they were with her. Would 100% recommend Shannon and would absolutely board with her again! 🫶🏼🐾✨”
“Denise was awesome. She was super flexible with timing, very thorough and thoughtful in our meet and greet, and sent great updates throughout the day! Nora came back happy and relaxed.”
“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”
“Sarah checked in on my cat for a week and was great at communicating about her visits with pictures. She gave my cat all of the pets and attention and care that I could have hoped for! Book her for your pet today!”

“Caitlin was fantastic! She sent so many photo and video updates throughout the day, which I absolutely loved — it made me feel so at ease being away from Toby. Her two dachshunds were wonderful with him too; they were sweet, gently playful, and the three of them got along really well together. Caitlin was also great about working with my schedule, even with a pretty early morning drop-off. Would 100% book with her again — highly recommend!”
“Makenna was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute, same-day booking, which we really appreciated. She was kind, a great communicator, and sent us lots of updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay. We felt our senior dog was in great hands! We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!”
“Heather is super caring and dog friendly. My dog Sokka knows when we pull up to her house because gets super excited and whiny. He fairly launches out of the car to get to her door.”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful for our Tika! She went on a couple of walks, met school age kids and visited a lemonade stand. Lisa updated me with pictures throughout the day! Tika was loved and had a great day! We highly recommend Lisa and her family for your fur babies care!”
“Had to do a last minute booking and Alexis was able to accommodate us and even did a last minute extension due to the evacuation, she is a literal life savor. 100% would rebook in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Jessica and would definitely use her services again. She was quick to respond, attentive, very friendly, and welcoming of our dog. Jessica watched our dog Nyx last minute while we attended an expo in downtown Long Beach. Our time at the expo was not as long as we thought it would be so we let Jessica know and she responded quickly and we were able to pick up Nyx early. Nyx was happy when we picked her up and I could tell she was enjoying her time with Jessica and her family. Thank you Jessica!”
“Megan and her family were so kind, loving, and attentive to our dogs. They sent photos, gave them lots of toys to play with, walked them several times during the day, had treats and even gave them baths! My frenchies can be a bit demanding and they took such great care of them, I felt totally at ease leaving our doggies with them. 🥰 We would love to book with them again when we’re back in the area!”
“I would highly recommend Jacquelyn! She was very good with both of my young Rhodesian Ridgebacks, she was great with communication and flexibility. This was the first time I had left my young dogs somewhere other than home and with a new person, using positive training methods and a kind heart she set them up for a good experience. We are very grateful!”
“Monique has taken care of our dog Baxter multiple times over the past few months. She always provides great care and Baxter loves staying with her. Thank you so much.”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.

“This was our first Rover experience. Michael and Teddy were welcoming and Remington had a wonderful time. I received many pictures throughout the time, and this helped me feel comfortable and relieved any anxiety I might have had. We will definitely be back!”
“Denise was such a lifesaver! I had a sitter cancel last-minute before a work event and Denise stepped in and saved the day! She immediately put me at ease when meeting her and she has the perfect setup for my senior dog who is starting to need bathroom breaks more often. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day so I was never worried about my pup. 10/10 will book her again!!”
“Daniella and her husband were so great! We had a last-minute trip to the beach for our son’s birthday, but our puppy hasn’t been socialized enough for the dog beach yet so we needed someone to watch him. We found Daniella on the app and they were able to take Maddox in within an hour. They were so kind to us and patient with our puppy and made sure to send pictures and keep us updated for the afternoon.”
“Treana went out of her way to care for my two dogs. I needed someone last minute and she was able to help me out. By far the best sitter I’ve experienced, she updated me throughout the day with photos/videos. She was very communicative and responded quick. She took our dogs to the beach. She fed them and was able to give my dog the medicine he needed. Whenever we are in town we will definitely use her again. She exceeded my expectations by far! I felt really comfortable being out all day knowing my dogs were being well cared for so thank you so much!”

About: I have been taking care of many animals all my life. I have taken care of pretty much every pet you can think of from pigeons, cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, all, and all the way to horses and cows. Needless to say I have a lot of experience and would love to help out in anyway I can! I am a member of the United States Coast Guard, and have a pretty set schedule Monday through Thursday. I am able to do mornings before nine and afternoons after two. I will not be able to take animals back to my place unfortunately seeing as my apartment has strict rules against animals being in my apartment complex complex

“Bonnie jumped in mid-week and was a huge help when I needed coverage quickly. She was flexible and responsive, and my dogs seem comfortable with her already. Looking forward to more walks together!”
About: Hi! I'm Ella, and I have professional experience working with dogs in a daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and individualized care. Working in a professional dog-care environment taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog's individual needs, recognize changes in behavior, and prioritize safety while still making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe and having a great time while you’re away. I’m currently attending school in the Long Beach area and am looking to build relationships with local pet parents who need a dependable, experienced sitter or walker. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding depending on my class schedule. I’m also available for weekend and holiday bookings when my schedule allows. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I follow each pet’s individual feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or health. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while keeping their pet’s environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 8 years old! All sorts of animals from dogs, cats, birds, farm animals, reptiles, you name it! I also have plenty of international experience where I lived and worked on different properties taking care of the home responsibilities and animals. I am actively accepting clients at the moment! I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, so your pet will have plenty of physical activity with me. As well, I am great with following schedules- so whatever routine your pet currently has I can easily adapt to it! I understand the amount of responsibility it is to have a pet and take care of a home. It would be my honor to take care of your baby as if it were my own! I am happy to dedicate my life to serving others in my community and I would be so grateful to have the opportunity to do that for you!
About: I have owned many animals my whole lifee, so I have plenty of experience with animal care. I’ve pet sat for many neighbours as well as family and friends on multiple occasions and absolutely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds!! :)) I am available all days of the week for long or quick check ins, and walks. I do have class just for an hour twice a week. But that’s guaranteed not to intervene with any sitting time!! When checking in on your fur baby, I’ll be sure they’re well fed, hydrated, and gets lots of play time and plenty of attention. I’ll be taking care of any special requests for your pets if needed!!
About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20+ years and have yet to meet a dog I don’t enjoy. I love their unique personalities and caring for them. I have a light work from home schedule, so I’ll be with your dog most of the time (with the possible exception of a quick run to the store/errand). I have a dog of my own who I walk, hike, play with, and take to the dog park regularly. I’d be happy to have another pup to take on outings, if appropriate. I have a fenced balcony and live in a very peaceful, walkable area. My house is open to the dogs (except for the kitchen, which I’ve blocked off because my dog will jump high to grab snacks). My dog is friendly and a bit aloof; he mostly keeps to himself and enjoys having the company of other dogs. Should anything happen, I live within 5-10 minutes of at least 3 veterinary hospitals.
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced). If I’m visiting your home, I take pride in being a respectful guest who focuses entirely on keeping your pet happy and tired out. You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
About: Hi, my name is Nelson. I'm very good with dogs and cats! I have three husky mixed dogs myself and I'm very active with them. I'm very open and flexible. Willing to go above and beyond for your dog or cat! I'm able to take your dog on walks throughout the day. I can host your dog at my house and have play dates if you'd like. I am also willing to do stop by's or even dog sit at your location. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with my time and able to adjust things as needed to benefit you. I am comfortable working with any size dog and also willing to work with cats as well. I am very quick to reply and also always sending updates if requested
About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!
“It is very difficult to trust people with your dog. Popi was wonderful! Great communication, punctual, and handled my sometimes difficult big dogs well! I would highly recommend her and would book again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have taken care of everything from the puppy months to the teenage years and into the senior stages. I love dogs and am looking to add as many fun and furry new friends into my days as possible. Let me be your doggies new best friend! I have a small fenced run and live where there is plenty of access to safe walking spaces so your dog will be well cared for and be able to stay active.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Erin. We have an older dog that is use to being home when we are gone, since we had been able to have family care for her in the past. Molly seemed to be right at home with Erin and was well cared for. I really liked the photos and daily updates. We definitely will be being Molly back to stay with Erin in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs. I had a Cocker Spaniel when I was a child, and when I was a teenager, we had a Labrador. I’ve always had a special love for dogs, and I also occasionally dog-sit for our friends. work part-time remotely, so I’m home often and have plenty of time to care for a pet. I have a flexible schedule and can give a dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood, which provides a comfortable environment for a dog. No other dogs or cats in the house
“Sunny took great care of our dog who can be quite shy with new people. Ralphie was in great hands and it really allowed us to enjoy our trip. She was very responsive and gave detailed updates. Ralphie will for sure be back!!”
“Donovan was awesome! He helped us out for the 4th this year on a day that our lab is otherwise very freaked out! We were sent pictures and videos and she loved every minute with Donovan! 5/5 stars! Would recommend his services anytime!”
“Marlo is the absolute best and continues to be my go-to sitter for my dog Riley. She gets tons of love and attention, and is so happy to see Marlo every time I drop her off. It makes traveling for work so much easier knowing she's in the best hands and being cared for with lots of love. Thank you Marlo!!!!!!!!!”
“Maria is wonderful. She took Kleio on a last minute request, conducted a very thorough meet and greet, and sent plenty of amazing pictures every day. I love that she keeps a strict routine and takes the dogs to private yards to play.”
“Matthew and Kim were great! They were super friendly, caring, reliable and communicative. After meeting them we felt great about leaving our puppy with them for her first overnight away from us. They kept us updated with pictures and text messages about how she was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found them to take care of our girl!”
“There is no place like Michael and Lara’s house to take your furry family members! Brutus loves it there. Lots of other dogs to play with, balls to chase and love from the family that cares for him like their own!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the loving care and attention Melanie provided for our two pups! She ensured they seamlessly meshed with her own dog, as well as another dog she was caring for at the time. She went above and beyond to alleviate our concerns about the stairs, and employed all appropriate safeguards. We gladly and heartily recommend Melanie!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Vanessa watched my Toki for me for 3 nights and she did the most amazing job! I like to keep Toki clean and she came back to me in very pristine condition. I feel so comfortable leaving Toki with Vanessa, I’ll definitely book again 🎉”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“Armida is fantastic. She’s been looking after my mini Aussie, Loki, for the past four months, and I couldn’t be happier. I met her when I had just moved to Huntington, and she was kind and welcoming from day one. Loki now gets genuinely excited when we pull up to her house. She’s reliable, consistent, and lovely, and she always sends photos when I’m travelling for work, which gives me so much peace of mind. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Denise is fantastic. I have a challenging dog and she was knowledgable, personable, and made me feel at ease. She asked the right questions and my dog loves her. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jacquelyn was great with my senior girls, who can be a bit high maintenance! They came home happy and as if they were on their own vacation, which spoke to hiw much love and care they received.”
