“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Emily made it such a great experience. She took great care of Lolah from April 1–11 and sent photo updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Lolah was clearly in good hands. I would definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“William was took care of our dogs and was intentional about making sure they had what they needed. He sent a video each day he had them and was great to talk to. Plenty of space for the pups and kids to play with them. We are grateful and would definitely work with him again!”
“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“She was great. She was profesional, amicable, kept me updated with pics throughout her stay and My Luna was always smiling. I strongly recommend her to any and everyone.”
“My trip was very last minute. Had to fly out that day and Grace & Wu took my fur baby cat in. They updated me daily with pictures and texts! My kitty is a very shy one but he slowly adjusted. He was in good hands and I was at ease! Will definitely book again ! 💜”
“Anny is an absolute gem. She watched our Maltese, Lila, and she is extremely loving and caring. She doesn’t even have her own animals, yet her home is set up like a five-star resort for any pet who walks through her door. Gorgeous beds, little houses, toys everywhere, treats ready to go. If a dog or cat could design their dream home, it would look exactly like Anny’s. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, but Anny is in a different league entirely. Lila actually hesitated to come home, which tells you everything you need to know. If you want your pet loved, spoiled, and treated like family, Anny is the one.”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“Sabrina was so attentive and caring. She took amazing care of my puppy. He just had a surgery and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during my trip. Thanks again”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Tokyo’s stay was amazing! He was cared for with so much love, and he really enjoyed spending time with Margarita & Cristian. I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything — we’ll see you again soon!”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“pam was very friendly, loves dogs, and we felt like she genuinely cared for our pet :) our dog also seemed like he settled down fairly quickly and enjoyed playing with pam and other dogs”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing. She took Dante on 2-3 walks a day and gave him plenty of opportunities to make new furry friends at Central Park. Highly recommend Sarah and hope we can work together again!”
“I left my golden retriever, Ruby, with Veronica for 5 nights. She had the BEST time - she got all the cuddles & love she could ever want! Veronica updated me multiple times daily with photos, which was really reassuring. I think Ruby’s actually sad she had to leave, but I’ll definitely be using Veronica again in the future! Thank you again!!”
“Travis is absolutely amazing! He treated our dog like his own. Photos were sent frequently so we can see what our dog is up too. Travis also made sure to keep our dog physically engage with constant walks and play time. There is no doubt that I would recommend Travis to any pet owner.”
“We had an amazing experience with Naomi! She took care of our corgi, Lola, for 4 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lola was so well cared for. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave to our pup, we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Giselle was great. This was my first time boarding my dog in any capacity so needless to say I was both nervous and apprehensive. Within an hour Giselle was providing videos and updates on my dog which helped my wife and I get comfortable very fast. Giselle is also very accommodating as we had to increase the stay one night which she did for us with no problem. There is a lot more to say, but overall I highly recommend her services.”

“Sally is so amazing with my babies. She boarded my cats in her home when I went on vacation. They came home so soft and had a spa vacation of their own. She must have bushed them for hours. So cute!! They were extremely happy there and I’m so glad I have a trusted sitter for them when I travel now.”
“Hadley is my first choice and is always very reliable. Very communicative with me and so sweet with my cat. It's so comforting to know that she's well taken care of while I'm away. Thanks again, Hadley!”
“Lori did a great job taking care of our two cats. She did everything we asked of her and had great communication. She also spotted a booking error we made pre trip and was able to make a last minute change which was extremely important.”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m [Your Name], a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet care professional. With years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and safe. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Let me give your dog the love and exercise they deserve — tails will wag, I promise! On an average I run 4-6 miles daily. As a digital artist who works from home I tend to find myself with a lot of energy left and lots of times I would rather spend with animals and being active at that. As a husky owner and a dog that needs lots of attention and walks, my dog is my best friend. He runs with me a lot, and I care for my dog as well as my other pets very attentive, extremely nurturing (it’s a habit), and with so much play time.
“This was our first time getting a cat sitter at first we were nervous but once we read the positive reviews on Jennifer’s profile we contacted right away. Jennifer was amazing with our cat Alejandro. He’s still a kitten and she played with him as much as he wanted to play. She’s really good at reading his body language and giving him affection. She took really good care of him and put our minds at ease while on vacation. We will definitely use her again our cat just loves her.”
About: I became a pet owner in 2021 for sort of selfish reasons. It takes a lot to admit to it. I got my tabby cat a year into the pandemic because I thought an ESA would liven my life. Aside from understand the daily responsibilities of play , food and hygiene that extend out to taking care of a cat I’ve had to manage my cats Athma and be creative with finding proper care and adjusting meals. He’s been able to loose 3 pounds under my care and stay active but also polite to the other family members in my hosue as I teach them how to understand his boundaries and play(first cat child syndrome ). I also have one rescue names Athena, I found her in Puerto Rico and successfully changed my dad’s mind that he needed to buy a Cane Corso… for his first dog. Thank you Athena. It’s also given me the chance to interact with cats with high demands and stay in control while allowing them the freedom to play but not overtake a. Home.
“Shadow and I got lucky with this young woman! She is a great fit for shadow. He’s a big sweet boy with separation anxiety. She knew how to take charge and keep herself and him safe. We are very happy with the service she provided. And we get to see her again”
About: Hi there! We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin is an author who’s had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and I absolutely adore these sweet animals! I am very comfortable with wet cat food, water bowls and fountains, cleaning up hair balls, scooping litter boxes, and administering medicine. I love to take care of cats, and as a cat owner, I appreciate how difficult it can be to find a pet sitter who gives your baby the affection and care they need. I have specific experience with kittens and seniors, and I have a good understanding of behaviorism and how it applies to taking care of cats. I am very detail oriented, and I will do everything I can to help your cat(s) keep their daily routine! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet pet(s)!
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

About: Hi my name is Brandon. I was raised in New York and have owned a few dogs over the years. I have about 12 years of experience walking and sitting for different breeds of dogs including stubborn bulldogs, hyper huskies, large golden retrievers, etc. I'm available all days, mostly afternoons and nights. I'll walk in any weather conditions, whether it's snowing, raining or scorching hot. I will be sure to care for your dog and they are my own because I know how much they mean to you.

“Ari was a great first experience using Rover. He took great care of my cats and offered to do a "meet and greet" beforehand where I was able to show him everything and introduce the kitties. I'd recommend him to you if you're looking for drop-in pet care.”
“Joy did a great job checking in on my cat, Pierre. She followed all of my instructions for feeding and litter cleaning, and sent me pics of my little man each day and at each visit, I could tell he was excited to see her, made me happy to know he was in good hands. Thanks to her reliability, I came home to a very happy kitty!”
“It's now my second time booking Sanjana and she's taken amazing care of my 2 cats. They enjoy all of the play time and get (appropriately) spoiled with treats. She has great turnaround for messages and always provides a bunch of photos which are very appreciated.”
About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.

“Veronica was extremely responsive and professional. She loves dogs and gave our pup constant attention and affection. We were updated with pics and Veronica used the app to inform us of our dogs potty breaks etc so we could plan our pups routine upon his return. I would highly recommend Veronica and I will use her services again.”
“Veronica is a great sitter. Trini was nervous when I left her there but when I picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. I can tell she had a great time there. Would definitely bring her back for more dates with Veronica and her beautiful dogs.”
“Omar is AMAZING!! Walter felt at ease from the first moment they met. He walked right in as if he has known Omar all his life. He looked forward to seeing him every morning. Omar kept me informed throughout the day which I truly love and appreciate. Cannot say enough great things about Omar. 100% recommend!”
“I was so worried to leave my 9 week old puppy with someone so soon, but Elijah reassured me that my puppy would be in good hands. Drop off and pick up were seamless and I received photos throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. From the start, she made everything smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and making sure my dog was well taken care of. You can really tell she cares and takes her work seriously. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and top-quality care. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi my name is Kassidy! I’m 20, my mom helps me take care of dogs/cats as well😁mommy daughter boarding services, Pups say they love the 🏡 yard the most 😆 I’ve cared for many loving dogs in my 20 years. Dogs/Cats are so adorable and I love spending time with them.

They’ll have plenty of rubs, hugs, and attention between us ☺️ My home has a fenced in yard for lots of running around. ⚽️ I like to play outside with the pups as they run off that energy. I know they’ll love it.
“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”
“The sitter was great. Even willing to groom my dog and trim her nails. The only mix up was the drop-off location which took me twenty minutes out of the way otherwise I'd give five stars.”
“I left my labradoodle, Ramona, with Valentina and her 4-year-old son for few hours, and honestly, she had the best time. From the start, Ramona felt completely at home — she got tons of love, playtime, and cuddles. Valentina was amazing and kept me updated with sweet pictures and little messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her son was the perfect little playmate, full of energy but so gentle and caring with Ramona. They played, ran around, and Ramona clearly loved all the extra attention. When I picked her up, she was happy, calm, and probably would’ve stayed even longer if she could! I highly recommend Valentina and her sweet son if you need someone loving and trustworthy to watch your dog. 5/5 paws from Ramona! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were in their own home. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, but every day I care for and walk a beautiful dog. It has become part of my daily routine to take her to the park, play with her, and spend quality time together. Seeing her happy truly makes me happy.

About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a current multi-pet owner with a mini poodle and a rescue cat, I am an expert at managing a happy, harmonious home and catering to different personality types. What sets my care apart is the activity level and location. I live just 20 feet from one park and a 5-minute walk from another, making outdoor time effortless. My schedule is built around your pet's needs: when I'm home, they get four walks a day, and even on my office days, they are guaranteed three solid walks with plenty of park time. My home is a true 'pet paradise'—fully stocked with a massive variety of dog and cat toys to suit any play style, from high-energy fetch to interactive puzzle games. I also treat your pets like my own by exclusively serving ZeroWater filtered water for premium hydration. I am highly observant, deeply responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, active, and loved. My weekly routine is highly structured to guarantee your pet gets plenty of regular exercise and potty breaks. Since I work from home on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am able to take dogs out for four walks a day (morning, lunch break, evening, and right before bed). On Mondays and Thursdays when I go into the office, I still ensure they get three solid walks (a long morning walk, an evening walk, and one right before sleep). I am always home for overnight boarding, and my weekends are fully open for even more playtime and park visits! Because I am a pet owner myself with a dog and a cat, my home is fully set up for animal safety. My environment is supervised, and I am particularly careful about keeping curious pets away from indoor plants or other hazards. I provide a calm, structured space where your pet can relax while I work from my home office. I also believe in total transparency and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time, whether we're playing fetch at the park or lounging at home. To ensure every guest feels at home, I provide multiple dog beds in various sizes throughout the apartment. This allows each dog to have their own dedicated space to retreat to and relax, which is especially helpful for pups who might be a little timid at first!

About: Hi there! We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin is an author who’s had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.
About: I've been a dog owner for the past 13 years and have also cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. Through those experiences, I've become comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. To me, dogs aren't just pets they're family members. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, which is why I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a former Division I athlete, I'm active, dependable, and love being outdoors, making me a great match for dogs who enjoy exercise and adventure. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, and I'm happy to adjust to their individual needs and personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll always provide plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog has a great time and gets the same love and attention they're used to at home! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and exercise they need. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I'm committed to keeping pet parents updated and ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency while you're away. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family members, so I'll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Alexis is a wonderful dog walker. He is a fast walker, so if you have a big dog, don't worry if they'll get enough exercise. He was on time and communicative. I would recommend Alexis to any person who needs a reliable dog walker.”
“Arianna has been nothing short of a godsend! She not only walks Titan, who is 135 pound Cane Corso puppy, but she has also trained him. She is so professional, loving, organized, and knowledgeable that I wish I had found her sooner. When I got home after their first day together, it was like I had a brand new dog. He listened so attentively to his commands. He was so much better at loose leash walking, and he seemed to be over his Dog reactivity issues and I credit Arianna to this fully. I saw on my ring camera, how loving and patient she was with him each time. She took him out and brought him back, and I could tell by the way that he looked at her that he loved her and respected her immediately. I think everybody should have a walker as great knowledgeable, professional, and loving as Arianna. It was very hot that day, and she was also attentive to making sure his water dish was filled after each walk and she made sure he drank water before he went on his walks, and in addition, she also brought water and a dish on their walks because she was concerned about him.”
About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.
About: I worked at Petsmart for about 4 years and I’ve had experience with every pet you can imagine from puppies to fish to cats. You name it I’ve taken care of I work a part time job so I’m available everyday of the week including weekends! Whenever you need me give me a call I’ll be there I follow my pet parents rules! Certain things your baby can’t eat? Fine with me. Your fur baby needs a bedtime story even better. Does your fur baby love walks? Let’s hit the park. I also offer house keeping as well
“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We have two rescue dogs who aren’t the easiest, and from day one she has been absolutely incredible with them. She’s patient, calm, and truly understands dogs with different needs and personalities. Her communication is excellent — always keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares, and our dogs adore her. We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

“We had great communication with Shirley throughout the entire process. We did a meet and greet before the stay, and she asked thoughtful questions beforehand to really get to know our dog. During the stay, she shared lots of photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to change our plans due to the snowstorm. Highly recommend!”
“Noelle is such an amazing individual. My pup had anxiety the first night I dropped her off and Noelle was very good at communicating everything with me. After the first night Phoenix did a full 360 and was having the best time with Noelle. I will gladly use Noelle to sit for Phoenix.”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“Lio is truly a beloved member of our family and is adored by my three children. I am very selective about where I leave him and rarely trust anyone else to care for him. From the very beginning, both Sayarlin and her husband were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with our "big boy", who think he is a Chihuahua. Whenever I called or had a question, they were always responsive and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. One thing I especially appreciated is that they have access to an outdoor space in New York, allowing Lio to get fresh air and feel comfortable outside of the apartment setting. Their love for animals is obvious, and they treated Lio as if he were their own. I highly recommend their dog-sitting service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet care.”
“Sarah gave Dante an outstanding stay caring for him while we were away visiting family do 3 days. She sent plenty of photos and kept us updated several times a day on how he was doing.

“I left my golden retriever, Ruby, with Veronica for 5 nights. She had the BEST time - she got all the cuddles & love she could ever want! Veronica updated me multiple times daily with photos, which was really reassuring. I think Ruby’s actually sad she had to leave, but I’ll definitely be using Veronica again in the future! Thank you again!!”

“We had an amazing experience with Naomi! She took care of our corgi, Lola, for 4 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lola was so well cared for. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave to our pup, we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

“Lal, Matt & Hank were great! My doggy boys stayed with them for a week while we were travelling out of state and they looked like they were having a nice little doggy vacation themselves with their new found friends. Lal would keep us updated with how our boys were doing by also posting pictures and videos along with the texts and e-mails. Lal really took the time to get to know the boys well specially during their meet and greet. Plus the fact that their LabraDoodle, Hank got along very well with the boys made me really feel at ease. I would definitely pick them again for our upcoming travels. So happy to know that my doggy boys were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended.”
