“Angela was amazing. She kept us up to date with daily messages and was very caring for Aussie. He was a little stressed but she took it in stride and was amazing. Would recommend and will use again!!”

“I was very anxious about leaving any of my dog with a sitter, as I have never left any of them with anyone before. I was very pleased how my fur family was taken care of, (he definitely goes above and beyond for your babies) I would definitely recommend him as well as use his services again in the future.”

“We left our dog with Lorinda for several days. She did great with Caya and Caya loved her. We were sent photos, which we loved. We will definitely leave her again with no worries. I recommend Lorinda to anyone.”

“My dog had the absolute best time staying with Ashley. I think she thought that she was at Disney Land for dogs. She came home exhausted. Communication with Ashely was top notch. If I posed a question it was answered immediately. While we were away we got updates and pictures, as promised. When we had an unexpected and unavoidable change in travels plans altering our return time, Ashely made sure our dog was taken care of. I would absolutely use them again for future pet sitter needs.”

“If you want your dog to be in a loving, beautful home with great, responsible, happy, and experienced people - Becky and her family should be a top choice! She welcomed and took care of Ruby as if she was her own. Exercised and walked her often. Played with her and sent many happy pictures. Becky is a 5-star sitter!”

“All the Stars!!! This was our dogs first stay using Rover with Jenna and we couldn't be more pleased! Someone who cares for our pup like it was their own with daily pictures and updates! Penny had the best time playing with Stitch and followed good girl rules while she was there. We appreciate Jenna opening her home to our Doggo and taking the best care of her while we were away. Thank you isn't enough for taking such good care of our fur baby!”

“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”

“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”

“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”
