“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”

“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”

“Matt has now become one of Maverick’s fave people and he looks forward to his time with him. I love seeing how excited he is when we leave him with Matt. Matt, thank you for always taking such good care of him. We appreciate you so much! For anyone considering booking with Matt, don’t hesitate to do so, your pet will be in the best hands!”
“Dennis and Lynn took care of our cat for 3 weeks. They kept us updated to make sure we know what is happening with him. Our cat takes a while to adjust to strangers but he seemed to acclimate easily with them. They sent us photos and videos of him and made us feel assured that our cat is well taken care of.😀”

“We were new to using this app and a little nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our sitter was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly made our dog feel at home. They send updates and videos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were gracious enough to take him bec it was very last minute on a holiday weekend. It was obvious that our pup was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and after reading many sitter profile reviews I decided on Maggie. After our meet and greet I was very pleased. I have a Maltese so I wanted a household that catered to small doggies, had a fenced yard, and wouldn’t be crated. All of my needs were obviously met. I got to witness Maggie in action as she was sitting a couple of adorable dogs during our meet and greet. During a potty break in the fenced back yard my dog Lola followed and immediately pottied just like all her new friends. (That was such a relief to me as she only likes to “go” on her own grass!). Then we talked about sleeping and feeding and I was so happy about Maggie’s attitude. She truly wants your dog to be happy, so she lets you bring whatever you feed them at home (I’m one of those that cooks my own food for my dog!) so I just packed up baggies for each day that she kept in her fridge. I left my dog for 7 days with Maggie. I got pictures and/or videos with a nice message on how she was doing everyday. It was really reassuring to hear from her. When we got back from our trip, she was so excited to see us but was definitely comfortable with Maggie. Lola doesn’t easily warm to new people, but Maggie had definitely won her over. Next time I plan on going out of town I would not hesitate to book with Maggie.”

“If I can give Iry 10 stars I would! He is phenomenal! Was available for my last minute request to watch 13- week old puppy. Iry was so welcoming and adored puppy. He gave him plenty of exercise and cuddles. Was updated frequently with the best pics! I would 110% book with Iry again!”

“So, this was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and I was pretty nervous about it. But let me tell you, our puppy absolutely LOVED staying with David and Betty! We were away for 6 days, and even though I was worried, they took such good care of our pup. They were super attentive and loving, and we could tell that they treated our furry friend like their own. They were also really punctual, flexible, and friendly, and their communication was top-notch. Honestly, I can't recommend them enough to anyone in the area who needs reliable and trustworthy people to look after their fur babies. Thanks a million, Betty and David, for giving us such peace of mind while we were away!”

“Xiaotong is a marvel. She is the best (and only) person who will ever watch our pups. As two highly anxious owners with high standards, she easily clears every bar imaginable. We would give her 10 stars instead of 5 if it were possible. No other sitter comes close to her quality of communication, passion, and care. Our shy dogs took to her and her dogs very easily and returned to us very happy, well exercised, and well groomed. She is so fantastic we are planning to have her watch our dogs for weekends even when we are in town. Yes, they adored her and seemed like they were at Disney Land on vacation while with her. We mean it when we say she is the best and that no other comes even close.”

“Marla is awesome! She did a fantastic job caring for my pup and sent me lots of updates while I was away. She was so kind to take my dog in at the very last minute. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”

“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”


“Marisol is genuinely our favorite sitter that we’ve met! She and Milo have been so incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The amount of relief and excitement I feel knowing that my pup is not only cared for but spoiled and loved is amazing. My pup is excited to get there and when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. THAT is the telltale sign of a wonderful human and home! Dolce 🩷’s Milo (and Marisol!)”

“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”

“Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.”

“We cannot thank Jen enough for taking such great care of our special guy! She sent updates throughout the day and pictures, and knew exactly how to work with his reactivity and anxiety. She helped set our minds at ease while we were out of town. We know Zolo will love to stay with her again!”

“Sara, I have no idea how you do it - sudo (my dog) is always the happiest in the photos you take - she’s constantly running and playing and having a total blast. We really appreciate all the high quality photos and that you’re willing to have my very active dog as part of your pack! Thanks again!! 🐕”

“Sarah is our go to when we need to leave our cats home. She took great care of them and go above and beyond to make sure everything works well in their living space. Will definitely recommend and rebook next time!”


“Freyja's second time with Jodi! Jodi took such great care of our cat while we were on our trip, and sent us daily pictures. We missed our cat, but knowing that Freyja is in such good hands helps so much!”


“Kimberly was fantastic with our boys. The first visit, our shy kitty disappeared but the second visit she found a way to approach him and was able to give him his meds. The communication was perfect and we definitely would have her watch our kitties again. Thank you!”


“10/10 recommend. I was very happy to find somebody that I immediately trusted with my dogs and my home. Thank you for taking such good care of the boys. I'm more grateful than I can explain!”

“So so happy I chose Rose to watch over my cat while I was away! She’s helped me out twice now short notice which has been a lifesaver. She is amazing at following my cat’s medication instructions and communicating everything to me. Truly so grateful we found her! Thank you, Rose!”


“Morgan was amazing! She communicated with me each day and sent adorable pictures and video of my sweet kitties while I was out of town on vacation. They loved her too! I would highly recommend her services and will absolutely be requesting her again in the future for looking after my two cats!!”


About: I have had pet cats all my life and am totally obsessed with them! Family and friends have relied on me to check in, feed, and care for their cats too. I would be happy to come and love on yours!

“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”

About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for tbe summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
“Heather was wonderful, she took excellent care of my two elderly cats and was easy to work with and a great communicator. She followed the care instructions to a tee and kept me updated on her visits each day, sending photos. She even cleaned up their spaces, which she definitely did not need too! I highly recommend and would love to work with her again sometime. Thank you, Heather!”

About: I have been around cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have 3 girls of my own and have watched over many others for family and friends. One of my girls is diabetic and I now have the necessary knowledge to assist others so they can leave their cat to me, worry free.
“Ricardo was great! I needed help giving my cat medication 2x daily. He let me know when he was heading over and arrived on time. Olive did great with him, she was relaxed and cooperated nicely. 😊”

“Having Issana as my cat sitter gave me such great peace of mind while on vacation. My cat warmed up to her very quickly and looked so happy in all of the recap photos. My cat and I got to meet her before the start of services to review his care and intros. After each visit, I received a summary of the visit and pics of their playtime. Issana was kind and detailed. I would definitely book again when needing a sitter. Thank you!”


“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”

“Emily was great! I was really anxious about leaving my 3 cats and this was my first time using a sitter on Rover. My boys are older so they required some extra care (including oral medication) and they can be shy around new people but Emily did a great job and even snagged some photos of the cats in their safe space in my box springs. I really appreciated the photos with the updates and the meet-and-greet before the booking.”

“I have used Sara’s services a lot lately. The most invaluable quality is the hours. I work 12 hrs as a nurse and some times it becomes 13, 14. Yet I can rest assured that my boy is being well taken care of and receiving love and cuddles feos Sara and her husband. I drive from Puyallup to Federal Way just to drop him off at Sara’s because that’s how much I trust her 🙂”

“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”

“Matthew was very kind and understanding. He took care of our anxious pup. He didn’t mind that our 11 month old dog kept growling at him. He sent lots of updates and was caring.”


“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”

About: Alex has a 6 year old Golden Retriever at home which she loves and adores! Alex knows how important it is to provide and receive quality care, Alex will provide care to your dog while paying close attention to detail as needed. Whether it is stopping in to relieve your pet, taking them on a walk, playing with them, or a combination of such, Alex will care for you pet as best as she can- similar to how you would. If you choose to have Alex sit for your pet, they will get plenty of play time with her sweet and playful Golden Retriever named Bodhi. Alex is flexible and open to meet and greets to ensure the dogs are a good fit for positive interactions. I am currently home full time with my 9 month old baby, and my dog Bodhi. This gives me great availability to be present with the dogs throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a good and safe walking neighborhood. The dogs are welcome to hangout in the house or outside as they prefer. Since I am home full time I can let them out to go potty as frequently as needed. With the rainy season upon us, I make sure to dry the dogs with a clean towel each time they come back inside.
About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
About: We don’t currently have pets of our own, but my experience with animals spans their entire lifetime. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
“Nich was great! Super friendly, took great care of my pup. Video and text updates. Not afraid to ask questions as needed. I would definitely trust Nich again to watch my little monster 🐶. 😊”


“Judith and family were great! I had a wedding in the area and needed someone to watch my dog for a couple hours and Judith to the rescue. She was fine with last minute plans. Her home was super pet friendly and my pooch made himself at home. He was happy and tired from playing when I picked him up! Would absolutely use again when I visit my friends in the area!”
“Dennis and Lynn were fantastic with Maddie! When we picked her up she was calm and happy. The photos and video updates brought a lot of relief as it was our first time leaving her with a sitter. I definitely recommend Dennis and Lynn to watch your cute puppy family member! Thank you so much for the attentiveness you two!”

“Marisol was the absolute best sitter!! First of all we had a super last minute request and she accommodated us so beautifully! Our sweet Jolene was spoiled, loved and cared for as if she was Marisols own pet. I hope we come back to the area just so we can use her again!”

“Marla took such good care of my pup Bear! She sent lots of picture and video updates of him running around with other dogs. Bear was definitely a tired pup when I picked him up! Will be bringing him back!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their pet’s usual routine, and keep the environment clean and calm. Whether at home or in a client’s home, I focus on giving each pet the same patience, care, and respect I give my own.

His communication is top-notch, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in his capable hands. His responsiveness is unmatched and I enjoy his updates of photos and videos that he sends throughout the day.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped raise litters, bottle-feed puppies, and care for our pack of four. Those early experiences taught me how to read dog body language, manage routines, and safely handle multiple dogs with calm confidence. I’ve continued pet sitting, boarding, and walking over the years and bring a grounded, patient approach to every dog I care for. I work hard to create an environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and relaxed. I truly treat every dog like part of our family. I’m married, have a 12-year-old daughter, and a baby boy. I currently work in nonprofit leadership, but spending time with dogs—getting outdoors, keeping routines, and building trust—brings me balance and joy. I’m also continuing to expand my dog behavior and training knowledge as I build my long-term path in professional dog care. Boarding I offer in-home dog boarding in a calm, family-centered environment and host up to two dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention and structure. Because the setting is shared, dogs should be well-socialized and comfortable around other dogs. I may coordinate a meet-and-greet ahead of time to ensure a smooth, stress-free stay. If your dog needs solo boarding, I’m happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. Dog Walking I offer 30- and 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog prefers a brisk outing or a slow sniff-walk, I adjust accordingly. I can reinforce basic training cues, and you’ll receive photos and a summary after each visit. Drop-In Visits Drop-ins include potty breaks, meals, medication (if needed), and plenty of quality time—play, cuddles, or calm companionship. Please ensure each pet is listed on your Rover profile so I can provide accurate and consistent care. For your pet’s well-being, be sure to book enough visits to match their routine and comfort needs. No matter the service I guarantee your pup will get loadssss of love and cuddles. I mean why else would I be doing Rover?? Pet Care Information & Schedule I work from home so have lots of time to be with your pup. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Earliest drop-off: 8:00 AM Latest pick-up: 8:30 PM If you ever need a different time, just reach out. I’m flexible when I can be, though there may be a small extra charge for off-hour arrangements. Your dog’s safety and emotional comfort are my highest priorities. Here’s what you can always expect when your pet stays with me: Supervised interactions only — especially with kids or when new dogs arrive. Slow, gentle introductions so your dog builds trust at their own pace. No off-leash exposure unless in a fully fenced, secure area. Detailed updates with photos or videos. Structured feeding times exactly the way you request. A calm and predictable environment (dogs relax faster this way!). We have a gated kitchen which separates your pup from our front door. We also have apple tags that will be put on every dogs collar or harness once they arrive. We double check our perimeter after every pup and keep on eye on them while they are outside for potty and play breaks. Immediate communication about anything unusual, like changes in appetite, bowel movements or behavior. My experience raising puppies, seniors, and multi-dog groups means I’m comfortable reading subtle cues and adjusting care quickly. Your dog will always be treated with patience, affection, and respect.

About: I've grown up with an array of animals and never stray from hard or dirty jobs. I am well versed in large and powerful dogs as they are all I have had growing up but that absolutely doesn't mean I won't take on the smaller ones. I have experience in home visits, walking, bathing, and ear cleaning to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! As of right now my schedule is wide open but eventually I will be needing to move to evening care. I will absolutely update and communicate when these needs change I want your pet to be the most comfortable they can be with me. If they need to be crated or need their own space I will be happy to oblige.
About: I had my first dog when I was 5 years old. He was a Labrador mixed with a German shepherd. I now have a tiny shitzu poodle who I love very much. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, and I can guarantee proper care of all fuzzy friends. I currently work part time in the evening, so my mornings are free for everyone’s fur babies! I would love to fill my time taking care of the pets of others. I have a an enclosed backyard that is completely safe and spacious for any dog to roam. When dog walking, I remain vigilant and always stay on top of any potentially concerning situations.
About: I’ve not only had my own pets throughout my entire life, but have cared for the pets of those around me on multiple occasions, whether it be dog walking for neighbors, or pet sitting for vacations. I work from home and am typically available all day to care for your pets. I am flexible and can come check on your pets when needed as well. When checking in on your pets in your home I will spend quality time with them, while also checking their food and water supply and making sure their living situation is up to standard. When caring for pets in my home, I will treat them as my own.
“We were really lucky to have Monique look after our pup. She’s highly professional, friendly, reliable. Best of all, our pup loved her and we will definitely book Monique again in the future as well as recommend her to all of our friends.”

“Taylor walked our two dogs for five days and she was great. She sent videos and pictures from the walks and provided detailed updates. She was flexible with her time and didn't mind walking in the rain. She was great to work with and the dogs really enjoyed their time together. We will work with her again.”

“Mary is wonderful! She has become my dog's weekday midday walker and he is doing great with her. She is patient and loving and he loves all the treats. She was very attentive during our meet'n'greet and has been awesome at daily communication after his walks. I really appreciate having her care for my older shih tzu, Winston!”


About: Hi! My name is Monae, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my volunteer work at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary, where I help with walking dogs, providing enrichment and socialization, cleaning kennels, preparing food and water, and assisting with daily care. I am comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your furry family member, and I am committed to providing reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Why book with me? * Volunteer experience with dogs at the Humane Society and Resilient Sanctuary * Experience with daily animal care, enrichment, and socialization * Reliable and responsive communication * Comfortable with dogs of various breeds and sizes * Passionate about animal behavior and dog training * Dedicated to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved I work full-time with TSA, so I currently offer pet care on Fridays and Saturdays.

“Birdie had a great time. Emily played and played with my 5 month old golden on my first work event during Covid since I’ve had her. Sad to leave the pup but know she was in great hands.”

About: I have watched dogs and walked dogs for family friends since I was about 14-15 and have always taken great care of them, making sure they also get to play with me or interact with me before I leave the home. I do competitive horseback riding and have learned how to treat an animal right and take care of one through this. I have watched my grandma's older dog that needs medication 3-4 times a day and I have made sure she's gotten her meds on time every single time. It's the most important thing to me to make sure the animals are happy and content even when their owners aren't home. I work full time, my schedule is monday-friday 9am-6pm with a hour lunch. I am able to do drop ins or walks mid day on my lunch depending on the distance. Since I have experience with horses and farm dogs I feel that I’m great with control when walking, I also enjoy just hanging out with pets even if it’s while watching a movie
“Issana is a true professional! She takes such amazing care with my pets and always goes the extra mile. She’s been great about sharing tips, tricks, and progress when spending time with my reactive dog. Since I’ve started working with her he has definitely improved on walks. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”

“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”

“Matt has now become one of Maverick’s fave people and he looks forward to his time with him. I love seeing how excited he is when we leave him with Matt. Matt, thank you for always taking such good care of him. We appreciate you so much! For anyone considering booking with Matt, don’t hesitate to do so, your pet will be in the best hands!”
“Dennis and Lynn took care of our cat for 3 weeks. They kept us updated to make sure we know what is happening with him. Our cat takes a while to adjust to strangers but he seemed to acclimate easily with them. They sent us photos and videos of him and made us feel assured that our cat is well taken care of.😀”

“We were new to using this app and a little nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our sitter was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly made our dog feel at home. They send updates and videos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were gracious enough to take him bec it was very last minute on a holiday weekend. It was obvious that our pup was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”

“If I can give Iry 10 stars I would! He is phenomenal! Was available for my last minute request to watch 13- week old puppy. Iry was so welcoming and adored puppy. He gave him plenty of exercise and cuddles. Was updated frequently with the best pics! I would 110% book with Iry again!”

“Xiaotong is a marvel. She is the best (and only) person who will ever watch our pups. As two highly anxious owners with high standards, she easily clears every bar imaginable. We would give her 10 stars instead of 5 if it were possible. No other sitter comes close to her quality of communication, passion, and care. Our shy dogs took to her and her dogs very easily and returned to us very happy, well exercised, and well groomed. She is so fantastic we are planning to have her watch our dogs for weekends even when we are in town. Yes, they adored her and seemed like they were at Disney Land on vacation while with her. We mean it when we say she is the best and that no other comes even close.”

“Marla is awesome! She did a fantastic job caring for my pup and sent me lots of updates while I was away. She was so kind to take my dog in at the very last minute. I would definitely recommend her!”

“I can tell that Onyx had an amazing time with Ricardo and his wife. He had other friends to play with and they told me that he loved a ball that he was playing with. I am so happy that I found Ricardo for Onyx. I feel so at peace with leaving my pup with him.”

“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”

“We cannot thank Jen enough for taking such great care of our special guy! She sent updates throughout the day and pictures, and knew exactly how to work with his reactivity and anxiety. She helped set our minds at ease while we were out of town. We know Zolo will love to stay with her again!”

“Sara, I have no idea how you do it - sudo (my dog) is always the happiest in the photos you take - she’s constantly running and playing and having a total blast. We really appreciate all the high quality photos and that you’re willing to have my very active dog as part of your pack! Thanks again!! 🐕”

“Amazing experience! Would highly recommend to any kind of dog. I have a super high energy puppy and he came back happier than ever. Will definitely be booking with Priscilla again.”

“First, logistically Samantha was awesome. She got us in last minute and was tolerant/patient as our return was delayed a few hours. For the actual dog portion, even better. Our _slightly_ neurotic dog seemed to have a great time and the pictures sent throughout the stay were so cute and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip(s).”


“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”

“Christiana was incredible! She gave the best updates, would go the extra mile for your pup in a heartbeat, and completely put my mind at ease while traveling. My senior dog has lots of health concerns but Christiana followed all the instructions and took great care of my boy.”


“Always trustworthy leave my baby with Judith and husband. He miss them so much already! Thank you so much for everything!!! His second home. And our first choice to leave him when we go for vacations or anywhere else.”
