“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”
“I am so happy to find Funda to take care of our dog Luna! Funda is very caring, responsible and calm, the keys ingredient to make a dog to feel protected and happy. She has a spacious fenced backyard where dogs can play freely and run, and at that time she had some toys there which made it even more fun! She also has 3 sweet kids, and Luna loved to be with them! Funda also sent us pictures and videos, to see the progress of her stay. The whole experience was great, and I feel safe and comfortable to leave Luna with them on our next trip! Thank you so much to take care of our little one!”
“Kun was so great to have during this trip! He sent us constant updates throughout the day in order to keep us posted about how our dog was doing and always was super understanding. Would definitely re-book.”
“Yesenia and her family took great care of my old man Chase. I was really nervous leaving him because he previously injured himself. However Yesenia followed his food and medication schedule to a T and helped speed up his recovery. They always kept in touch with me while I was away by sending pictures and videos. They also answered promptly whenever I was checking in. I will be using Yesenia and her family for my next trip! Thank you so much for a positive experience.”
“We had an amazing experience with this dog sitter! They took such great care of our three dogs, showed genuine love and attention, and kept us updated the whole time. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use them again—highly recommended!”
“This is the first time I leave my fur baby with Ms. Katherine. My fur baby had the best time and was well cared for. I received picture and video updates throughout the day. I highly recommend and plan to use again. 😊🩵”
“Liz was great with Emmie and sent photos of her each day. She responded promptly with any questions during the stay. She took her on walks, let her play in the backyard, and play with her kids. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!”
“Our dog had a great time staying with them! He had a hard time adjusting at first and marked his territory, but they were incredibly patient and understanding. Before long, he settled in and became much more comfortable. They were the most responsive and communicative sitters throughout his stay. They kept us updated, flagged any concerns calmly without causing unnecessary stress during our wedding weekend, and took amazing care of Chase—even through the fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend. We're so grateful for the love and patience they showed him, and we'll definitely be booking with them again soon!”
“Geoff and Jenny took great care of our dog. They have a great location with fenced yard and are very responsive. Great updates on our dog stay with them. Looked like he was part of their family during the say :)”
“Aeli and her husband are incredible! They took care of my dog really well, made sure he feels at home, and sent me pictures and videos everyday! It’s clear that they know dogs really well and are incredibly caring!”
“Kevin and his wife are amazing! They were able to watch Sadie for a long weekend even though it was last minute. Sadie is super shy and they were so patient with her while she took her time to warm up. Having Bubbles there helped her so much and they became absolute besties! Overall I felt really good knowing that Sadie was safe and comfortable with them :)”

“Christina does a great job and is so kind in all of her interactions. I have used her twice now to care for my cat for drop-in visits and she was wonderful. I highly recommend her.”
“Nicole was great! She spent time with my cat, followed all instructions, kept me updated and checked in if she was able to drop in earlier. Would absolutely book again!”
“My cat Salem is super shy around most people but warmed up quickly to Victoria and adored her. She was the perfect drop in sitter! She is very caring and did an excellent job making sure all of Salem’s needs were met while I was away. Victoria is a gem I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”
“Leticia was amazing—I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! I was away for a week and felt completely at ease the entire time because she went above and beyond in every way. She gave my cat his medication right on schedule (not always easy!), and kept me updated with daily messages and adorable photos. It was clear she truly cared and treated him like her own. Knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. She’s an absolute gem and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve always loved cats as I have a feral cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that every cat has their own routine and preferences, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles (if they allow them!), administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every cat like they’re part of my own family. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Suzie is an excellent and reliable caretaker. She dropped in on our cat while we were away and she was on time, followed all instructions perfectly, sent pictures and videos, and our shy cat warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommended.”
“Enis went above and beyond. He was completely reliable and very generous with his time. He had a natural rapport with my cat and I would absolutely use his services again. Thanks, Enis! :)”
“Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.”
“Andrew met Timo in December as a last minute hire and Timo loves play time with Andrew!! So naturally another trip and connected with Andrew again and was equally great especially enduring the elements of our weekend winter storm! Thanks so much from Timo and Angel!”

I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.
“Kristina was excellent. She took on this dog visit last minute and was able to change the visit time me the morning of. Very accommodating. She was a great communicator and took lots of photos to share. Cosmo loved her and I’d be happy to have her back.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.
About: I moved to New Jersey three years ago, and since then I’ve been caring for cats for multiple families through drop-ins and overnight stays. I make sure every cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that means feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications if needed, or just spending quiet time with them so they don’t feel alone while you’re away. I understand cats have their own personalities—some are playful, some are independent, and some just want their space—and I always adjust to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive care, making sure each cat feels calm, safe, and stress-free while you’re gone. Welcome to The Zoomies Club 🐾 — where even the quietest cats are cared for with patience, respect, and love. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
“This was my first time taking my babygirl (cat) to any boarding or sitting services and while my baby was not the nicest Angelica was great! She made everything about the experience nice and easy, she sent me pictures and updates and responded almost instantly. I told my cat to get used to it ‘cause we’re coming back! 🖤”
“Hi Jess You did an amazing job with Gracie despite her reluctancy to make friends. We were able to enjoy some days with family worry free thanks to You!!Great experience. Jess definitely has a talent for photography. I loved all the pictures she posted and saved them all. Top notch service!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”
“I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“If you’re looking for an excellent experience for your dog when daycare is needed, Enis simply knocks it out of the park! My dog usually has an “inspection” phase when meeting his care taker initially, but with Enis, he was instantly at ease and was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Very impressed and I will definitely contact Enis again in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and accept only one family at a time, allowing me to give each pet individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that require additional monitoring or support. I am also happy to reinforce training and routines that owners are already working on at home. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, on the couch, or in bed with their family, I will follow the routine you have established at home whenever possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I provide personalized care and keep my schedule flexible so that the pets in my care receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I rarely leave the house for more than an hour, and only occasionally for up to two hours if I need to run an errand. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervision. Because I only host one family at a time, I am able to give each pet my full attention and maintain the routine they are used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, relaxing on the couch, sleeping in a crate, or curling up on the bed, I do my best to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. Providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment is extremely important to me. My home is organized with pet safety in mind, and I strive to create a peaceful setting where dogs can relax and feel at home. Communication is also a priority, and owners can expect regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their pet’s stay.
About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs throughout my adult life. My husband and I operate a small home-based business, which allows us to have a flexible schedule. We both genuinely love animals, so we’ve been actively providing a cat boarding, dog walking and drop-in visits through Wag and Rover. We’ve gained great experience and positive feedback from our clients, and we always prioritize safety, reliability, and loving care. I genuinely love both cats and dogs and care for them with patience, kindness, and responsibility. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or following specific routines. Ensuring your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness is always my top priority. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My husband and I have been running our own business from home in Paramus, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I already own and care for two cats and one dog at home, so my days are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Because I work from home, I’m able to freely adjust my time to care for your pet—whether that means regular check-ins, longer visits, walks, or simply spending quality time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in my clients’ homes only but I offer a boarding service for cats. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks suited to your dog’s energy level and needs, always paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. When walking a large dog or two dogs at the same time, my husband joins me so we can work as a team and ensure the dogs are cared for safely. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I can adjust my time to provide reliable visits and walks. I’m also happy to send photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind.
“Andrew is an amazing pet sitter and would highly recommend him! He is very committed, communicative, respectful, responsible, and very knowledgeable. He sent us videos and photos throughout the day which made us feel at ease. He also has an excellent setting in his home - play and sleeping areas that allow any dog to feel very comfortable. He is also very careful when introducing other dogs. He takes his time in getting to know each dog to make sure he is providing what the dog needs to make the stay or day care enjoyable and smooth. Highly recommend. Will be taking Bless again! Thank you!”
“I was so nervous to drop off my newly rescued small Chiweenie and Geoff and Jenny did such a good job caring for him with so much love. Super friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait for him to go back to another doggy daycare day!”

“Enis is really great! Always happy to accept my bookings even the day before for my shaggy, who isn’t the best with strangers but is great with Enis couldn’t recommend more!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
“Lillian is amazingly attentive and walks my dog like a pro. She is there on time and can be there early if needed. I would recommend her to any friend of mine in need of a dog walker!”
“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”
About: I started my experience dog walking 2 years ago for a professor’s friend in Winchester, Virginia. Twice a week, I would walk her hyper pups. She then recommended me to her father, whose dog I began walking twice a week as well. From there, my mini business boomed through word of mouth. I began dog sitting in people’s homes as well for multiple individuals for varying time spans. Most of the dogs I interacted with were seniors and required extensive care. However, all dogs owners loved and recommended me to others! I still walk the original dogs and add in others as my schedule allows with two other jobs. I am sad to leave my extensive clientele in Winchester, but I am moving back to New Jersey for graduate school and excited to meet new puppy friends!! For the summertime, I am incredibly flexible with nothing planned. I prefer weekly walks / drop ins, but also like sitting as well. In August, I start physical therapy school at Columbia University so my availability will decrease but I’d be willing to provide services on nights / weekends. During breaks, my availability will open up again! Whenever walking / sitting, I respect the owner’s rules, no matter what. I long to maintain utmost cleanliness and adherence to routine as physically possible. I am also very communicative and honest, building trust with my clients.
“I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉”

I make sure each pet is safe, loved, and well taken care of—whether that means giving medications, going on walks, or spending time playing in the backyard while you’re at work, on vacation, or visiting family. I specialize in both puppy and adult dog care, including high-energy and “quirky” personalities. No matter the pet, I believe all they really need is patience, consistency, and love. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive, and efficient care, including overnight stays where I treat every pet like my own.

Whether it’s zoomies or chill time, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home 🐾💕
About: I’m 19 years old and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve cared for Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, and a Yorkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or just keeping them company. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for yours the same way I care for my own. I currently work part-time at a bird store, where I help care for a variety of birds and assist customers with their pet care needs. Working with animals has made pet care a big part of my daily life. I have experience feeding, cleaning habitats, monitoring animal health, and making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Growing up with pets and working around animals every day has taught me how important patience, responsibility, and compassion are when caring for them. I am not currently offering overnight or in-home pet sitting services. However, during walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are cared for as if they were my own by providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“Nicole was fantastic with our dog and couldn’t recommend her more. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Nicole for your next dog sitter needs, you won’t be disappointed. Personally I’ll be coming back to Nicole every time we need a puppy sitter.”
About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an active and dependable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I currently walk a friend’s dog regularly and love making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. As someone who enjoys walking and running every day, I’m happy to match each dog’s energy level, whether they enjoy a relaxed stroll or a more active walk. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of who I am. I’ll treat your pet like my own, prioritize their safety, and always keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a DPT student and fitness enthusiast, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I always make sure dogs get the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection they need. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit and provide photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests. I take the time to earn each dog’s trust, use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.
“Emma did great with my dog, understanding that he needed a little time to warm up to a stranger (he needed me to go along with them for the first time) and his quirks. Would book with her again!”
About: Hi my name is Marisol, I’ve interacted with so many dogs and various breeds over the years. Dogs are such pure creatures and I enjoy being around them and playing with them. I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I am currently in college, and all my classes are night classes. A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.

“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“I am so happy to find Funda to take care of our dog Luna! Funda is very caring, responsible and calm, the keys ingredient to make a dog to feel protected and happy. She has a spacious fenced backyard where dogs can play freely and run, and at that time she had some toys there which made it even more fun! She also has 3 sweet kids, and Luna loved to be with them! Funda also sent us pictures and videos, to see the progress of her stay. The whole experience was great, and I feel safe and comfortable to leave Luna with them on our next trip! Thank you so much to take care of our little one!”
“We had an amazing experience with this dog sitter! They took such great care of our three dogs, showed genuine love and attention, and kept us updated the whole time. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use them again—highly recommended!”
“This is the first time I leave my fur baby with Ms. Katherine. My fur baby had the best time and was well cared for. I received picture and video updates throughout the day. I highly recommend and plan to use again. 😊🩵”
“Liz was great with Emmie and sent photos of her each day. She responded promptly with any questions during the stay. She took her on walks, let her play in the backyard, and play with her kids. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!”
“Geoff and Jenny took great care of our dog. They have a great location with fenced yard and are very responsive. Great updates on our dog stay with them. Looked like he was part of their family during the say :)”
“Kevin and his wife are amazing! They were able to watch Sadie for a long weekend even though it was last minute. Sadie is super shy and they were so patient with her while she took her time to warm up. Having Bubbles there helped her so much and they became absolute besties! Overall I felt really good knowing that Sadie was safe and comfortable with them :)”
“Andrew was great with my dog. He provided daily updates, took her on runs and kept her exercised and happy. He even helped with leash training and socializing her with other dogs. I picked her up happy and excited! Would recommend Andrew to anyone!”
“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“Words can’t explain how thankful I am for Xunzi boarding my senior dog for a few days. Not only did she accept my last minute boarding request, but she also extended the boarding no questions asked after my flight was cancelled and I was stranded in another state. She followed all of my instructions, sent tons of videos/pictures of Honey throughout the visit and took care of Honey with lots of love. I’ll strictly be booking with only Xunzi from now on. Thank you!!!”
“Thanks Ankita...They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of.”
“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“My dog Simon had a wonderful time at Stephanie's home. We took a 7-day getaway, so we were nervous about how he would do. Stephanie kept us updated daily, which eased our worries, and she sent many pictures. Simon didn't miss love or hugs and felt at home. He also made friends with her dog. Thank you for caring for our Simon! 🤗”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”
“This was the first time I was boarding my almost 13 year old anxious rescue dog. I was quite nervous but Lauryn eased my mind from the meet and greet a few weeks before. It was obvious how much she cared for dogs. My Shiloh was with Lauryn for 9 nights and did so well. Lauryn sent me pictures everyday and it was clear Shiloh made himself at home and was well cared for. The 9 nights included an unexpected night due to a flight cancellation. Lauryn was flexible and gladly cared for Shiloh for another night. Lauryn's home was very nice and accommodating for dogs and she is in a safe residential town. I know Shiloh misses her already and I look forward to having Lauryn sit for Shiloh again.”
