“Gabriel and Mari were so great taking care of my pup! He really had a great time with them and they were amazing to be flexible with us when travels plans changed a little bit!”
“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”
About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.
“We left our dog with Oli for one week, and couldn’t have been happier! She sent some nice pictures, and when our flight from DC was delayed by several hours which made it necessary for our dog to stay with Oli for one additional night, she kindly accommodated us. In summary, we highly recommend Oli and would gladly utilize her services again!”
“Natalie was an absolutely amazing host, our dog had a wonderful time with her two friendly dogs and her dog-loving boyfriend. She has a very spacious house in a convenient location with a dedicated room for dogs. She was really nice to quickly accept taking care of our dog for an extra day due to an emergency as well. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again & to recommend to others.”
“I just had my dog stay with Hannah for the first time for several days. It’s Delilah was very happy there. She was well taken care of and had a lot of friends to play with. I will definitely book again!”
“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“hayden was very responsive in a timely manner. photos were sent and took amazing care of my pup. will definitely book with hayden again in the future whenever i’m in town!!! highly recommend!!”
“Julia was incredible on our 1-week vacation away from our babies. She sent daily updates with pictures and I could tell our 2 dogs where loved and well-taken care of with her. Our dog Maggie was recovering from an ear infection and hates having ear drops put it, but Julia took on a the challenge and gave our stubborn girl her medicine. Also, I made a mistake on our booking time and Julia was kind and understanding about it. I hope Julia is available next time we need a sitter. She is a true gem!”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! They were so accommodating and patient. Their home, backyard, and neighborhood couldn't have been more perfect. I received updates & photos throughout my time away, and truly felt that my babies were in great care. I hope they let us come back - I don't want to use anyone else :) Thank you both so much!”
“April and her husband are amazing! Great communication and I received quality pictures and videos! The updates made me feel at ease. I could see that Mei Mei was enjoying herself and learned that she’s a natural guard for babies?! I appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave to her. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me as I adjusted the drop off time and ended up experiencing a delay en route. 🙏🏽 I would definitely book again and have peace of mind knowing she was well taken cared of. Good energy and dog lovers for sure. Definitely worth 🐾 - pawsing and considering. 😆 Thank you again! 🌼”
“Ella had a great time with Julio and AnnaDee. They were responsive and sent pictures/updates on how she was doing often. Thanks for taking care of our energetic pup! Highly recommend.”
“Jenna is so great. My dog seemed to have had a great time with her. Her home is very warm and inviting and my dog was very comfortable. Definitely will be booking her again! Thanks!”
“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.”
About: So, a little about me, I’m an animal lover and I absolutely love to be around dogs! My husband and had a 5 yr old toy poodle mix that we rescued but she has unfortunately passed! We love our fur babies as much as people love their real babies. I enjoyed taking walks with my dog and just giving her as much love and attention as possible, I’d like to extend that love and care to your pets! I have found myself with a lot of extra free time and would like nothing more than to help care for other people’s pets! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m available most days for feedings and walks as well as runs, dog parks, and any other special requests. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate just about any request in order to give your pet the best care while you’re away. I typically try to follow what your family prefers for keeping your dog safe. Whether that is walking your dog on a leash, going to a fenced in dog park, your own backyard, etc.
“We love Cassandra and so does our bulldog Baby. We had Baby stay with Cassandra for over a week and we got daily photos, videos and updates. Her home is dog friendly and well maintained. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup and will for sure use her again!”
“This was our second time boarding with Chris, and once again, he exceeded expectation…this time for two weeks! We couldn’t be happier with the attention our Frenchie received while staying with him. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he felt completely at ease and right at home. He didn’t even say goodbye before running right inside. Chris maintained our pup’s daily routine…from daily walks and playing soccer at the park, to evening wrestling matches. The regular updates and pics were awesome! We are 100% committed to boarding with Chris going forward and can’t recommend him enough to fellow pet parents looking for someone who treats your dog like family.”

“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”
“I just moved to the area and needed someone last minute to help me with my dog - feeding and a couple walks - while I was at Disneyland for the day. It's always hard to leave your dog, especially when you don't know the person, but Angela was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. She was super responsive to my initial outreach and asked great questions. I loved getting the visit reports and photos from her throughout the day. She took extra time to get to know the dog and make him comfortable, and did other little thoughtful things that made me feel like she treated the dog and my home like her own. I can't express my appreciation enough, and will definitely be calling Angela again!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and can’t wait to take care of your cuties . Animals are an important part of our lives and they deserve the world Pets are a big part of my routine! I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I enjoy keeping a consistent schedule to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I love my pets so much ! And I would take care of your pets like mine. I love animals and would love to hangout with them
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and grew up helping care for my family cat. I am also regularly around my boyfriend’s five cats, which has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and playful cats to those who are more independent. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and providing companionship based on each cat’s comfort level. I understand that every cat has unique needs and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Kendall was so helpful and thorough. I really enjoyed Kendall helping me out while I was traveling. Everything was in order when I returned and we talked through any questions beforehand. I am very eager to hopefully book Kendall to help me again on future trips.”
“Bella was great with my cat, Orion! She took excellent care of both him and my house. She communicated often and sent great pictures! Will definitely have her to sit for him again!”
“Debbie was awesome. She is very pleasant to work with. The whole experience was easy and smooth. I would not hesitate to request her to look after my kitty again in the future.”
“sierra did a great job! i was in a bit of a pinch when my usual pet sitter canceled on me a couple days before my trip but sierra responded right away and was super attentive and communicative through out the whole process! she took such good care of my kitties and home. will definitely be booking with her again :)))”
About: I've been the go-to check-in person for friends, roommates, and neighbors for years—especially when it comes to cats. I’ve lived with multiple cats at once and I understand their rhythms, quirks, boundaries.. I’ve been called a “cat whisperer” more than three times, and I take real pride in that and I love to talk about it. I care very much about creating calm, respectful environments for cats- perhaps we are not dissimilar. I’m attentive, deeply intuitive, and treat each kitty with the same patience and care I’d want for my own sweet boys.
About: I actually didn't get my first dog until I was 17, prior I have only had indoor and outdoor cats and have and continued to handle them up to now. Even when getting the dog I had a cat at the same time so Im very comfortable with handling, changing litter, feeding, entertaining, and keeping an eye on cats and their behavior. Although more on the independent side, cats are so sweet and full of personality and I truly love meeting new ones and being able to be apart of their little worlds.
About: I love cats but haven't recently lost my 2 elderly cats. It is too soon for me to have my own again, but I would love to care for your kitty and get some kitty lovin'. I have 17 years of experience in the veterinary field and can give care for any life stage. 😺
“Sasha was great! Very communicative and even stopped by an extra time to ensure our cat was well looked after. Sent us pictures everyday! Hoping to have her sit for us in the future.”

“Brittany is great! We had never used a sitter or taken our dog to doggy daycare before so we were a little nervous, but Brittany responded quickly, sent multiple pictures throughout the day, and our dog loved her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“They are wonderful!! Spent so much time playing with Barley and provided updates often. This was our second time booking with them and we would totally recommend it”
“Julia is super dependable and communicative! Our 2 dogs stayed with her during the day and she took lots of pics to messaged us during the day. We can tell our dogs love her and feel very comfortable at her place. We feel so happy to have found a new sitter who we can trust when we are on vacation.”
“Elaine and Marty have given me peace of mind while traveling for work or pleasure. I know Zoey is home away from home with her daily routine and the love she receives. I am guilt free leaving here there and words cannot express my gratitude to Elaine and Marty.”

About: MATURE and RESPONSIBLE DOG LOVER. I’ve had dogs from small to giant. I am a volunteer at the Agoura Animal Shelter and Ventura County Animal Shelter. I have many years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and currently I have a Treeing Walker Hound, and a senior Cocker Spaniel (both are rescues). I provide hotel pet sitting, hiking, walking, and check-ins. A MEET AND GREET WITH THE PET AND THEIR OWNER IS REQUIRED. I walk my own dogs every morning and bathe them once each week. Dog-walking is my livelihood and I take the care of dogs seriously. I volunteer twice a week at the Agoura Animal Shelter and the Ventura Animal Shelter. I live in a single-family home with a fenced yard, and have a section of the house I can gate if I need to. Because I have my own dogs who need me, I am not available to stay in a client’s home.
“Bagel had a great time with Oli and Benji. Oli was very communicative and understanding with a last minute request and couple of changes around timings. Would definitely recommend Oli for anyone looking for a local sitter, Bagel came back happy and relaxed both days.”
“Mando was very flexible as we were scheduling. As I have a giant breed puppy, it takes someone strong (physically and mentally) and he was able to handle my giant baby adeptly. He posted lots of photos as well.”
About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.
“She did an amazing job taking care of my dog! It’s always hard to leave your pet, but she made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable. Communication was great and everything went perfectly. I’m very grateful for the excellent care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I would love to help you with your small sized dog who would have the company of my sweet 4 year old mini Australian Shepherd. I work from home and your fur-baby will have care all day. I have one small fenced yard with Astro turf and am surrounded by great parks. Your pup’s unique needs will guide my care. I work from home and have 4 yo Mini Australian Shepherd who is very sweet and gentle with little dogs, and very confident and relaxed. I live in a two story condominium with beautiful grounds for easy walking and near lush green parks. I work from home and have 4 yo Mini Australian Shepherd who is very sweet and gentle with little dogs, and very confident and relaxed. She enjoys two walks a day, one in the morning, and one in the evening, and a mid-day hang in the grass. She enjoys the company of other dogs.

About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a lifelong love for dogs. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I truly enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted, go-to dog walker in my neighborhood, mainly through referrals and repeat clients. Now that I have some additional availability, I’ve decided to expand my services to Rover and am excited to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting to more families in the Conejo Valley area! I treat every dog like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention, and all of my clients will tell you I quickly become their dog’s favorite part of the day 🐾 💝 I’m happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to meet you and your sweet friend! 💕 I have some open spots in my schedule right now and would love to add a few new doggies! 🐾 I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits.

I care for every dog like they’re my own, and their safety and happiness mean everything to me 💛 I always follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and secure, and I pay attention to the little things—how they walk on leash, what they enjoy, and what helps them feel at ease. I’m careful, patient, and always aware of our surroundings on walks. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe and happy.

“Brittany has so SO great with my Tucker. She has been prompt, super friendly and kind and shared images of their walk together. Tucker seems to be in great hands and would def recommend!”
“Julia was great with our dog while we were away for the day. She kept us informed when she arrived and departed. She was mindful of the weather and picked a route that was not too hot. We would highly recommend her.”
“Great communicator and reliable. Checked in to confirm the meet and greet, had good connection with our high energy boy. Will be sad to see Samantha return to school. Highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I've jokingly called myself a "cat whisperer" and pride myself in connecting with kitties of all ages. I will care for your furry friend like it is my own. I prefer to care for cats and small dogs as I'm admittingly intimidated by large dogs. I am currently home full time with my young children, so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for your pet. Occasionally I may need to bring them with me during care hours, so if your pet is very timid or not good around small children we probably aren't a good fit. Sorry. I prefer to take care of your pet in your home, and would diligently spend time and give care to your pet like it was my own.
About: Animals have always trusted me, and I take that seriously. I've cared for pets in all stages of life—whether it’s a high-energy pup needing structure or an older cat who just wants safe and spacious company. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament and needs, and I’m often told I bring a calming presence. Friends and family have relied on me for years to step in when they’re away, knowing their pets—and their homes—will be treated with care and respect. I am a musician and work my own hours. This to say that I am uniquely available to meet the needs of your pet- routine included. I take great care to create a calm, gentle, attentive environment that feels safe and familiar for animals. I pay close attention to their routines, signals, and comfort zones. I am someone who insists on clarity. I understand the importance that instructions are clearly understood and for you to feel the comfort of that while you’re away. I communicate clearly, efficiently, and effectively. It takes a real trust to leave your animals and your home in someone else's hands, and I take that responsibility with utmost seriousness—treating your space and your companion with the respect they both deserve.
“OMG, Kendall is AMAZING! We used Rover for the first time while we were out of town and needed someone to walk our dog, Mimi, and do check-ins. From the moment we met him, we could tell Mimi was in great hands! Kendall sent us the cutest pictures, videos, and updates every visit – you could see how happy Mimi was! It was such a relief to know she was not just cared for but really enjoying herself. Kendall went above and beyond, and we were able to relax knowing our sweet baby angel was with someone who genuinely cared. Highly, highly recommend Kendall – he’s the best!!”
“Nikki very much loves what she’s does and you can tell that by the way that she interacts with our dogs. She spends extra time with them, teaches them commands, sends us great videos and photos.”

About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Natalie was an absolutely amazing host, our dog had a wonderful time with her two friendly dogs and her dog-loving boyfriend. She has a very spacious house in a convenient location with a dedicated room for dogs. She was really nice to quickly accept taking care of our dog for an extra day due to an emergency as well. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again & to recommend to others.”
“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“hayden was very responsive in a timely manner. photos were sent and took amazing care of my pup. will definitely book with hayden again in the future whenever i’m in town!!! highly recommend!!”
“Julia was incredible on our 1-week vacation away from our babies. She sent daily updates with pictures and I could tell our 2 dogs where loved and well-taken care of with her. Our dog Maggie was recovering from an ear infection and hates having ear drops put it, but Julia took on a the challenge and gave our stubborn girl her medicine. Also, I made a mistake on our booking time and Julia was kind and understanding about it. I hope Julia is available next time we need a sitter. She is a true gem!”
“Jenna is so great. My dog seemed to have had a great time with her. Her home is very warm and inviting and my dog was very comfortable. Definitely will be booking her again! Thanks!”
“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 love Cassandra and so does our bulldog Baby. We had Baby stay with Cassandra for over a week and we got daily photos, videos and updates. Her home is dog friendly and well maintained. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup and will for sure use her again!”
“This was our second time boarding with Chris, and once again, he exceeded expectation…this time for two weeks! We couldn’t be happier with the attention our Frenchie received while staying with him. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he felt completely at ease and right at home. He didn’t even say goodbye before running right inside. Chris maintained our pup’s daily routine…from daily walks and playing soccer at the park, to evening wrestling matches. The regular updates and pics were awesome! We are 100% committed to boarding with Chris going forward and can’t recommend him enough to fellow pet parents looking for someone who treats your dog like family.”
“Andrew and Karrie are so good with our pup. They made her feel at ease after a bad experience with an another sitter. I’ve used them before when visiting and will use them again.”
“Harlan was awesome! We have two very needy Frenchies and he made sure to accommodate all of their particular needs. He texted us pictures regularly which helped ease our anxiety of leaving our fur babies. He is the nicest guy and I can tell my pups really enjoyed being with him and felt really comfortable leaving them in his care! Thanks Harlan for all the TLC you gave them while we were away!”
“Thea was great match for both of my dogs, from the beginning, I really loved the idea of the meet & great, it is a peace of mind knowing that you don’t have to worry about the actual day! I would definitely rebook with her, for the near future.”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“This was my second time using Stephanie for our annual family vacation and we knew our puppy would feel right at home. Stephanie puts our worries at ease and provides unconditional love. We can’t wait to use her again soon!”
“Anna was great! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of Penny. Penny seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her immediately. I can’t wait to use Anna again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“We were so thrilled to fund a great match with Neda for our Flynn. We boarded with Neda for an extended weekend, and she kept us updated with messages and pics throughout his stay. Thank you for welcoming him in to your home!”
“Erin and Ken were great hosts meeting our dog first for compatibility between their dog and our elderly blind dog. They have an enclosed yard for playing and sent us pictures. We didn't know it but our dog passed a week after returning home from heart failure.Recommended.”
