Thank you Khaing i appreciate everything and also for the new toys your gave Lexx. He loves it! I will be using your service again in the future. Take care!”
“I had such a great experience with Juliana and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Leaving my dog while traveling is never easy, but she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free from the start. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel connected even while I was away.”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.”
“My dog who’s always home alone had the time of his life with his new sitter … thank you sooo much .. Carter really enjoyed himself thanks for the videos and the update I hope he wasn’t a huge bother but I seen him having a great time and experience for his first time with you and your family.I rebooked two more times this month.”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“Michell was great with my elderly dog! Provided updates with photos frequently and very flexible and patient with my senior pup. We would definitely recommend Michell for dog boarding!”
“Eric was the BEST! I went international for 10 days and never had to worry. Joey came back happy and I knew he was loved. Thank you, Eric! Consider yourself added to my Rover rolodex. :)”
“Carismeldi watched my pup Prada from Friday to Sunday and she was great. She kept me in the loop with pics and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Prada looked happy, comfortable, and totally at ease the whole time. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”
“Yuiko was great with our pup, Yeti! She sent multiple pictures everyday, which is something we really like. We will definitely send him to her again. He also seemed to have lots of fun with her family and the other pups she was boarding!”
“Tony was so great. Thank you!!!!!! House was very clean and he sent videos. We really appreciate it and will come back if our dog is with us for a birds or phils game. Go birds!”
“Alice is awesome! She helped take care of my dog Emily while I was traveling for three days. Alice is very trustworthy and responsible. She is detail-oriented and made sure everything related to Emily—her leash, eating habits, and walking routine—was in order from the very first day. She also gave Emily lots of pets to help her adjust well. Alice sent me pictures every day and responded to my texts promptly! When I picked Emily up, she kept looking back in the direction of Alice’s apartment—I could tell Emily really liked her and missed her! I highly recommend Alice if you need boarding services. She’s truly great!”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“David was wonderful with my dog Rocco. This was the second time I used David, and he will be my go to guy for any future needs. He’s also so flexible if you need to drop off or pick up at a different hour than you originally planned. Highly recommend David.”

Se nota que sabe mucho de gatos y que sabe tratar con ellos . La mejor cuidadora que encontré nunca . Repetiré si lo necesito . Gracias por todo !! No dudéis en dejarle vuestro michi o que lo cuide, lo hará genial !!! Ojalá más personas así que amen tanto los animales”
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Sarah did such an amazing job taking care of Clementine! It was wonderful to get a thoughtful update as well as some lovely photos each morning.This little senior has kidney disease and it put my mind and heart at ease knowing that she was happy and well-cared for while I was away. Thank you!”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“Olga was fantastic!! She was so communicative and we loved the detailed notes and photos from her drops ins with our kitties. You can tell animals love her as even our shy boy warmed up to her right away. We felt totally secure and relieved knowing she was taking care of our babies while we were away. Thank you!”
About: I have always had at least one cat my whole life and since I was 10 years old, one (to several) dogs. Spending time with my dogs and husband is my favorite activity. I also have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I work a full-time job from home and I am able to make my own schedule, I just need some heads up to accommodate a schedule change. I love my full time job, however, it is a desk job and I am really looking to get out more and would love to enjoy some walks with your dog! I am happy to do a meet and greet so that both you and your pup can feel comfortable with me and I know all of the important details to keep them safe and happy.
“We couldn't be happier with the care she provided to our cats. Kia's dedication and attention to detail truly set her apart, making our vacation worry-free and our cats content. She was punctual, provided daily correspondence and photos, and established a routine for our pets, minimizing any stress they might have experienced due to our absence. Kia demonstrated a genuine love for animals, evident in the exceptional care she provided. From cleaning the litter box to ensuring they were well-fed, she went above and beyond to meet our cats' needs. One particularly noteworthy aspect of Kia's service was her willingness to tackle unexpected challenges. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an upset stomach during our absence, leading to an unpleasant mess. Not only did Kia clean up the mess promptly, but she also ensured that the affected area was thoroughly sanitized, leaving our home as clean as she found it. Communication was also a strong point in Kia's service. She kept us informed about each visit, providing updates on our cats' behavior and well-being. This thoughtful gesture helped ease any concerns we had about being so far away from our beloved pets. In concluiosn, Kia's cat sitting services exceeded our expectations. Her reliability, genuine care, and ability to handle unforeseen circumstances make her a top-notch choice for anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kia to anyone looking for a responsible and caring individual to look after their furry friends. Our cats were in good hands, and we are grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our time away.”
“Jacqueline is amazing with our babies! They love her so much and she takes such good care of them every single time she's here. They love her and we love her and she's a freaking rockstar!”
About: I’ve been feeding and cleaning up after cats my whole life! I can handle anything from their daily meals, flea/tick medication, cutting their nails, to using enzyme cleaner and special brushes for those messes they leave behind.

About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I'm happy to give updates throughout visits, including photos or videos, and will send regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. My schedule is flexible. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your summer and fall travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability.
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“Chris did an amazing job making sure Rue (who was having some digestive issues the day of day care), was comfortable and supported, and that he fit in well with the other dogs. Thank you so much!!”
“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”
“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.

Before care begins, I take time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, play preferences, and any special needs.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up in Linstead Jamaica, my family owned a small farm, where we tended goats and chickens. We also took care of 2 generations of Rottweilers, so for as long as I can remember, I have had pets. Because of this, I’ve gotten to care for dogs of all ages - from newborn to older, in sickness and health. Since moving to Philly in 2016, my family has rescued a Cat (Rocket) and a Shih Tzu (Betty White). Needless to say, if given the opportunity I will make sure to give not only care for, but love your pet! I am currently home full time. Feel free to reach out - I am available early mornings and nights, and for drop ins or house sittings when needed. I am also open to last minute bookings. I live with a family of 4. We live in a home in a very quiet neighborhood near Cobbs creek - with trails and parks within the vicinity. We currently do not have any of our own pets, but any pets we have cared for had the luxury of enjoying outdoors at almost any hour and to meet and play with other pets at different parks. As for drop ins, I will treat your home with the upmost respect.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
About: I have had pets since I was 9 years old. I have taken care of my own pets, as well as friends and family’s pets since I was a teenager. I have a dog (curly white dog in photos), that lives with me. He likes to keep to himself and has never had any issues with other dogs during a stay. I work from home all week so can accommodate any needs your fur baby will need. Although I am at my desk most of the day, I am flexible with any pet needs your pet will need. I have a small, gated area at the back of my residence that can allow for any quality outdoor time. Plenty of grass to run around in!
“Rhea was amazing! Olive had such a great time with her and her pup! She was able to answer all my questions and made me instantly feel at ease leaving my pup with her. I would absolutely rebook in an instant!”

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

“Barbara was fantastic! Barbara arrived on time and took my boy Shadow for a nice long walk, and took plenty of pictures throughout so that I could see how things were going. Barbara also left a very detailed note letting me know exactly what happened on the walk and even after as far as feeding Shadow and giving him more water. I would definitely choose Barbara again to walk or watch Shadow!”

We have a big fenced yard and three lovely dogs. There are no children in the house. We tell our friends that this is a dog's house. "Puppies are allowed, humans are tolerated" lol
About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!
About: From blue tick coonhounds to chiweenies, I know my way around walking dogs! During my volunteering at an animal shelter, I learned proper walking and handling methods, so every walk is set to be safe and happy! I work part-time, often with multiple full days off that can be dedicated to keeping your pets safe, healthy, and happy! I’m also comfortable with taking care of pets before or after my shifts :) While I currently do not offer boarding, I am more than happy to visit wherever your pet calls home and give them comfortability and familiarity.
“Mike was great! I reached out to him with less than 48 hours notice, he agreed to come over for a meet and greet and provided exceptional service to AJ. He’ll be my go-to for al future dog sitting needs.”
“Amelia is amazing. Our dogs cannot wait until she shows up for their late morning walk. I highly recommend Amelia, and I feel fortunate to have found someone so wonderful to take care of my fur babies.”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.”
“My dog who’s always home alone had the time of his life with his new sitter … thank you sooo much .. Carter really enjoyed himself thanks for the videos and the update I hope he wasn’t a huge bother but I seen him having a great time and experience for his first time with you and your family.I rebooked two more times this month.”
“Michell was great with my elderly dog! Provided updates with photos frequently and very flexible and patient with my senior pup. We would definitely recommend Michell for dog boarding!”
“Carismeldi watched my pup Prada from Friday to Sunday and she was great. She kept me in the loop with pics and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Prada looked happy, comfortable, and totally at ease the whole time. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I’d definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a solid sitter.”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”
“David was wonderful with my dog Rocco. This was the second time I used David, and he will be my go to guy for any future needs. He’s also so flexible if you need to drop off or pick up at a different hour than you originally planned. Highly recommend David.”
“Amazing trip as always. I never ever feel worried about my dog feeling sad that we are leaving because he has more fun with Chris than he probably does with us! Our dog looks so happy and comfortable in every picture- I cannot ever thank Chris enough for taking such good care of our dog every time. We love you Chris!!”
“Jasmine was super kind and took great care of our pups! She sent lots of photos and videos to keep us updated when we missed our friends, and gave them plenty of excercise”
“I had a wonderful experience with Christine. She is incredibly experienced and truly cared for our good boy Franklin. She provided regular updates, which I really appreciated, and it was clear my dog was comfortable and happy in her care. I also love that she doesn’t have young children or other pets, and her yard provided a great space for Franklin to play and relax. Highly recommend—she’s reliable, attentive, and a true dog lover!”
“Above and beyond! Kanade took such excellent care of my dog, and she looked truly happy in the copious amount of pictures that were provided. Kanade asked questions for clarification of care, send a daily recap of how my dog was, and completely put me at ease during my trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dogsitter.”
“Rebecca was wonderful. Bootsie is 12 yrs old and loves her sofa and that’s what she got. A comfy sofa, no other dogs, and a good walk and meal every day. Heaven! She was hard pressed to get up and leave. Rebecca sent pictures every day, keeping me abreast of the visit. She is a warm and caring sitter who put me at ease. Linda P”
“This is our third time Cody has stayed with Emelie, and each time is wonderful. Her communication and concern are tremendous. Cody can be ….difficult, and she handles him with sensitivity and compassion. Highly recommend! (And I hesitate to say that bec she’s getting harder and harder to book!😂)”
“Carly is very responsive with all messages. My regular sitter got sick and I needed someone urgently. Carly was clutch. I am planning on dropping Rocky off again at her place in couple of days.”
“Liliana was so great with Bingo and I felt really confident he was being taken care of and cared for. I was updated, and questions were answered very quickly. I highly recommend Liliana with your pet if you want peace of mind.”
“Deena is absolutely AMAZING! Layla can be a little anxious at times but she seemed to fit right in and got comfortable quickly. This is all due to Deena, she creates a safe and fun environment for all the dogs she watches and she truly cares about their well being. Deena was attentive and constantly gave me updates on how Layla was adjusting. I will definitely book with Deena again!”
“Jake was absolutely fantastic!! It was our first time ever using Rover and he made us feel very at ease dropping our dogs off. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using him again!”
