“Nick and his wife were excellent with my pups. We had a meet and greet, and my dogs instantly fell in love with them. They sent updates and took really good care of them. I will highly recommend them. Thanks so much!”
“Great host for our dog!! Very good communication with frequent updates and even pictures and videos. We know he had a good time. We would book with Tatiana again.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Armando is the absolute best! He watched our 8 month old puppy with pretty short notice and made everything so easy and non-stressful! He not only took amazing care of our pup, Luna, but sent frequent updates and beautiful pictures of her adventures with his pup too! Luna had such an amazing time, I honestly think she is bummed to be home! This was our first time having someone watch Luna while we went on a trip and we were so beyond lucky to have Armando be the one to take care of her! So grateful, and will highly recommend Armando to anyone!”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“I would definitely trust for Lukas to stay again. It was the first time he ever stayed with a sitter. He came back home very happy and in great conditions. Arriyanna is very good on responding to messages and sending pictures. 10/10 experience.”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Isao and Rezairyl were amazing with Bella. They sent video and photos every day and went above and beyond for Bella's needs. Definitely booking with them again! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️”
“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my 2 dogs! They asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet which shows they really care and take their job seriously. They sent pictures and updates every day. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and run around. I will definitely contact them again.”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Jenny and family took good care of our doggie. I enjoyed getting pictures of him to see how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again. This was a great first experience.”
“I've been using Laura consistently for nearly a year and they've become nearly a 2nd family/home for our dog. He gets excited when we exit the freeway and when we get outside he darts off to them and doesn't look back. Genuine love in her household. She is prompt, punctual and professional. She looks after him with experience and we definitely trust her.”
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and after he sadly passed away, I realized that I still had a lot of love to give! I’m currently a stay at home mom who absolutely adores pets, so my schedule is completely up to what your pet needs and what their schedule is! I live in an upstairs apartment that has lots of space for play time but also has cozy spots for nap time! The apartment has a secured front balcony that can be blocked off at request.

“Maria is very knowledgeable of dog caring and canine behavior. She took great care of our energetic beagle. He spend a lot of time out in the park and Maria sent us many great pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Nala loves her Perla! She is very responsible and monitors her closely, giving us detailed reports. She manages the schedule well in advance, so I feel very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was basically a kid, and yes — your dog will become obsessed with me. I’m reliable, patient, and great with pets who need extra attention, belly rubs, or a hype-woman on walks. I’m a full-time student, but my fall semester is ending, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins. I only do in-home care, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I’m hypervigilant, gentle, and big on routines—I keep doors secure, follow instructions, and treat your home and pet with respect.

Neighbors, friends, and family trust me to feed, deep clean litter boxes, give medications, play, and provide lots of cuddles.

I focus on calm, stress free walks in suburban and beachside South Bay areas so your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My primary profession is legal videography, which means my schedule can vary week to week and isn’t a fixed 9–5. Because of this, I maintain flexible availability and communicate clearly in advance about openings. When I’m available, I’m fully present and committed to providing reliable, focused care. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following all instructions carefully to maintain routine and comfort. I prioritize safety during walks, remain mindful of surroundings, and treat every home with professionalism and respect
About: I’ve had dogs mainly growing up and have now been a dog dad for almost 3 years. Love my little guy and know how much fury friends mean to their parents. I’m also very weary of who I trust with my little guy so ask any and all questions you need to to feel at ease 😊 Im in the military as an instructor so my schedule changes from class to class but I generally know two weeks in advance if I’ll be available. I’m available for drop in visits and walks. I have a big yard and a little bull terrier named scrappy who is very friendly but you don’t have to worry about anything happening to your dog because I am doing in home drop ins and walks. In an emergency I am willing to help someone out though, just let me know what you need.

“Elaine's time with our 3 cats could not have gone better. Our cats need (require!) lots of attention. Plenty of updates, pics, and videos of happy kitties - it was clear that our cats got plenty of attention and love from Elaine. We are VERY HAPPY with Elaine's house- and cat-sitting service and will be asking her to take care of our kitties in the future. THANK YOU ELAINE!”

“Shardae has been wonderful for us and our 4 yr old kitty on her first 3 day sleepover with her. She seems to have taken quickly to Shardae’s home. Snuggled up with her when Shardae would sit down. Receiving updates and photos really helped to calm these pet parents and helped us enjoy our vacation. We now knew we made the right choice in choosing Shardae! 😃🐾”
“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and Since I was 15 I would dog sit friends and families pets when they wanted to travel or had to work. Some pets I had to also give medication to them. My schedule can vary so I may be able to get you scheduled in so I can take care of your puppy dogs. Would like an extra income please message me see if our schedules work out.. I live in a house with a fence all around and gate in the front so your puppy will have plenty of space to run around my house or go outside for a potty break or get to run around the yard.. I can also easily crate them with a fence inside my house. I do have 2 pups of my own so they can play around if possible.
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
“¡Perla estamos tan felices y agradecidos de encontrarte, que realmente sentimos el amor y la dedicación que le das a nuestro bebé Dalí! Muchas gracias, estamos seguro de que Dalí te extrañara a ti y todos su nuevos amigitos ❤️❤️❤️”
“Elaine offered the perfect dog day care for our boy! She sent photos throughout the day of Loki meeting and playing with new friends, meal time and rest time. She sent a report card at the end of the day so we knew how the day was for him. We will definitely bring him again for those long days when we aren’t able to be home with him!”
“Armando saved the day for me when I had to last minute go into the office. My dog is very playful and active which makes it hard sometimes to find a sitter that is ok with that. Thankfully Armando has a dog with similar energy as mine so they had a great time playing all day. Armando was very communicative and responsive. i will definitely be using Armando again! Thank you!!”
“We had a fantastic experience leaving our pup with Lauren and her husband for daycare. From the start, they were thorough in explaining how they safely and calmly introduce new dogs into their home. They kept us updated with regular photos throughout both days, so we always knew Comet was having a great time. They even sent Comet home on the last day with a couple of adorable Polaroid photos! We highly recommend them!”
“Wow Hiromi is an amazing puppy care taker. I was super nervous abt having someone new watch my bogey but she went above and beyond my expectations. As a former rover dog boarder I’m aware of what to look for in good care and she hits all the marks and more. I really hope we can have Hiromi take bogey back next time.”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.
“Arriyanna was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had. The communication and care for puppy was amazing! Her professionalism didn’t go unnoticed. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you so much.”
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon! I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work. I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and would love to host small to medium-sized friendly, mellow dogs. I am an artist and writer who lives in San Pedro, CA, by the waterfront. I have a fenced yard and work out of my home art studio. I can board your doggie(s) at my house for the day or for a few hours. I do not own pets right now because I have been traveling a bit. I am available M-F, and holiday/weekends if given advance notice. Only two dogs at most at any one time at my home. Contact me if you want a trusted companion for your furry friend :) I wake up very early in the morning. I usually take a walk by midmorning, and work on art or writing for the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I have a fenced yard to allow your doggies to get air, sun, or run around a bit supervised. I am also comfortable with dogs sitting on my furniture or bed. I have hardwood floors.
“Jacquelyne was fantastic! Super friendly and communicated often with pictures and notes. Her 2 dogs were extremely friendly to our Teddy and I'm so glad he made new friends today with them! Couldnt recommend her more for excellent care!”

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief.

Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

Since we can’t adopt any more dogs into our family at the moment, I joined Rover as a way to have more dogs in my life! I work full time from home but have a pretty flexible schedule to take my lunch break at any time during the day depending on when your pet needs me. While I will only be providing outside the home services, I always make sure to treat people’s homes as I would my home. I make sure to leave it better than I found it and alert the client if I noticed anything that needed their attention immediately.

I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!

About: I’ve spent years caring for families and their furry friends! Through my nannying and house-sitting experience, I’ve regularly cared for dogs while their families were traveling, including following detailed routines, keeping up with walks and feeding schedules, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention. I’m big on communication, so I always keep families updated with regular photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I’d be happy to give your pup the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own! 🐾❤️ I work full time, but I’ve made it a personal goal to hit 15,000 steps a day! I’m on a health grind and what better company than some friendly doggos on my walks? I’m available in the evenings, and I also take a big long walk around 9–11 AM in Downtown Long Beach. I genuinely love walking and especially enjoy being outdoors with a good view! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make their safety and comfort my priority. I’m experienced with caring for dogs in clients’ homes, including overnight house sitting while families travel. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.
“Kristina was early and has a pleasant demeanor. I can tell she loves animals and she had a great time with the cats. My dog Freja is shy but at the end of the walk she was sniffing her out. Thank you.”
About: I have pet sit for friends while they are on vacation. I have taken care of about 4 dogs. I have lived with a dog for about 2 years I work part time so i have around 3 free days a week while the others i work schedule i can comfortably have time to go check in on your fur babies and work ! I can make sure your dog comfortably gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Whether that is walks or just playing with them for a bit so they aren’t lonely

“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”
About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.
About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.

“Armando is the absolute best! He watched our 8 month old puppy with pretty short notice and made everything so easy and non-stressful! He not only took amazing care of our pup, Luna, but sent frequent updates and beautiful pictures of her adventures with his pup too! Luna had such an amazing time, I honestly think she is bummed to be home! This was our first time having someone watch Luna while we went on a trip and we were so beyond lucky to have Armando be the one to take care of her! So grateful, and will highly recommend Armando to anyone!”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my 2 dogs! They asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet which shows they really care and take their job seriously. They sent pictures and updates every day. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and run around. I will definitely contact them again.”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“I've been using Laura consistently for nearly a year and they've become nearly a 2nd family/home for our dog. He gets excited when we exit the freeway and when we get outside he darts off to them and doesn't look back. Genuine love in her household. She is prompt, punctual and professional. She looks after him with experience and we definitely trust her.”
“Maria is very knowledgeable of dog caring and canine behavior. She took great care of our energetic beagle. He spend a lot of time out in the park and Maria sent us many great pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Nala loves her Perla! She is very responsible and monitors her closely, giving us detailed reports. She manages the schedule well in advance, so I feel very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Kia was an exceptionally good communicator. He was really flexible with scheduling. I appreciate the care he gave our pups and the prep he took in reviewing their care document before their stay.”
“Great sitter. They follow all the instructions, making sure my dog was safe and well taking care of. My doggy enjoy staying at Quing. Will ask in the future to take care of my doggy again.”
“Mollie was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever! He had such a great time and it was clear that she truly welcomed him into her family and made him feel right at home. We really appreciated the picture updates while we were away, and they gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, we could tell that he had very little anxiety being away from us, which says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for he was. We’re so grateful to Mollie and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“So grateful for Emily and Maple! Emily was great about sending me updates and info on Cookie while I was away. She handled all of my dogs medical info great. My baby is blind and deaf so I really appreciate the updates and love she received. Cookie and Maple got along well and became buds!”
“Our senior pup, Marley, loves his stays with Kate and John. They send updates throughout the day and make sure that he gets all of the cuddles and walks and snacks that he needs.”
“Brian was amazing, patient and so communicative throughout Rocky and Stu’s stay. He went above and beyond - not only did he bathe both dogs after noticing that they were scratching a lot, but Brian also braved bringing stubborn, old-man Stu to the dog park (which is no easy feat), but in just one weekend, Stu is now exponentially better when passing other dogs on walks. We will definitely be rebooking. Thanks, Brian!”
“We left our senior dog with Annie and Kina for 2 weeks while out of country. Annie is super responsive, smart and so sweet. She sent pics everyday, took him out (with our permission), and gave us updates. She handles senior dogs w health issues and on a medical routine very well. We’d definitely recommend Annie!!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
