“Emily, Patrick, and Conan took wonderful care of our dog Bella while we were out of town. She was a part of their family for her stay, and I received regular updates (and adorable photos!). I would highly recommend trusting this family with your dog. I will be happy to book with them for future trips.”
“My girl and I are SO lucky to have Liz! Knowing I can travel and my pup is safe, sound, and having the time of her life while I’m gone (everything from long jaunts on trail to lots of cozy cuddles) — it’s such a relief. Can’t thank Liz enough! ?”
“Yun-Chun & Ao-Chang took good care of Knut while I was traveling. They hosted Knut for about 10 days and they were sending tons of photos every day. They were very responsive to my messages and giving me updates on how Knut's doing.”
“I am thankful I found Romy through Rover- leaving your baby with someone is never easy.Romy was super communicative and we established trust instantly. Max enjoyed his stay there and this mommy got multiple updates and pictures to put my anxiety at rest-thank you Romy.”
“Rochelle and Eric were absolutely incredible dogsitters. I am always nervous leaving Koda with someone new as hes a bit shy and anxious bur he warmed right up to them after out meet and greet and settled in quickly after drop off. Rochelle was extremely communicative and kept me updated while we were gone and it truly gave me so much peace of mind during my travels. I would definitely recommend Rochelle and I plan on seeking them out again for future care!”
“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”
“When our pup is with Ketaki, we travel completely stress-free. Her love, care, and affection are truly unmatched. During this stay, we had an unexpected medical emergency in India and had to extend our pup’s stay — Ketaki couldn’t have been more understanding or accommodating. From her thoughtful updates to the adorable videos, it honestly felt like our pup had found a second home. She handled everything with so much warmth and professionalism, and she was also open to feedback in the most genuine way. We owe Ketaki more than just a review — she’s been a blessing for our little family, and we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Fiona is a fantastic sitter. Our Goldendoodle loves being at her home and feels very comfortable. We appreciate the photos, videos and daily updates. Thank you for being so attentive to our pup!”
“My 5 year old lab Queso had a great time with Joyce and her family when he stayed last week. Joyce kept us updated with daily photos. She kept him active with regular walks and games of fetch. All in all, Queso had a great experience and as pet parents we are glad we chose Joyce for boarding”
“Heather took excellent care of my dog. I appreciated her responsiveness to communicating logistics and the updates she shared while caring for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Lorena cared for our two-and-a-half-year-old dog for ten days while we were out of the country on vacation. We really appreciated her taking the time to meet us before we left and answering all our questions. Lorena is such a thoughtful and experienced sitter, and she sent such fantastic pictures and videos while we were away. Her home and yard are wonderful, our dog enjoyed playing with the other dogs Lorena was hosting, and he loved spending time with Lorena and her family. It was so great to know we did not have to worry and could enjoy our trip.”
“Mckenna was absolutely the best! I felt reassured knowing my dog Sebastian was in good hands. Thank you for being kind, communicative, and keeping me in the loop with daily updates, especially daily Sebastian photos! 🐶 I’m really happy to hear he made new Shih Tzu friends as well. Sebbie and Ollie and Jaxx forever! Thank you for providing a safe and welcoming environment for my dearest pup. Thanks again for everything - I hope to stay in touch for future bookings on Rover. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Xiaomeng was an excellent babysitter for Cosmo! She was friendly, attentive, and ensured he was well cared for throughout his time with her. Cosmo had a great experience playing in her lovely backyard, which provided a safe and enjoyable environment. I appreciate her professionalism and the warm approach she had with him. I would highly recommend Xiaomeng for anyone looking for reliable and caring babysitting services!”
“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”
“Karina was very nice and communicative….. she took really good care of my Oreo, he came home very happy. I Would highly recommend her to care for your dog.”
“Seriously best rover sitter our dogs have stayed with. so flexible and understanding of the needs I comminicated and respectful whilst also being communicative of what she required in a respectful way, which is exactly what I need in order to plan around. I would highly recommend her as a sitter or anyone and would love for Sascha and Oscar to stay with her.”
“My 14 year old corgi needed something a little more calm and quiet than the boarding kennel and this was the perfect fit. She is still very physically active and likes a good walk and some playtime but was able to spend the better part of her days comfortably snoozing and watching over people while they worked. She doesnt handle stairs very well anymore and hates being carried so i was happy this apartment had an elevator and ramps.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”

“Alexa did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties while I was away for a couple of weeks. I highly recommend her for anyone stressed about making sure their cats are taken care of while out of town!”
“I had an excellent experience with my pet sitter despite a large time difference—I was in Asia, and she was in Seattle. Even when I was delayed in responding, sometimes by 10 or more minutes, she was incredibly patient and flexible, adjusting her schedule so that each visit still lasted a full hour. After every visit with my cat, she provided detailed notes and consistently checked in to ask if additional care—like trimming fur or nails—was needed. She even asked if I wanted my cat taken for walks. Despite us never meeting in person, our communication was seamless. On top of that, she went the extra mile by cleaning up some mess my cat made and returned my key to my neighbor. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to other pet owners!”
“This is the first time we used Shana. She responded on very short notice to take care of our senior cat and we could not have been more pleased with the excellent care she provided to our cat. We will be using Shana in the future and would highly recommend her to care for your pet too.”
“This was our second time booking with Sandra. As with the first time, she was great with our two cats. She was very attentive and communicated with us throughout the week on how our boys were doing. One of our cats was acting a little out of sorts this time and she let us know her concerns, offering right away to take him to the vet if we were worried. That didn't end up being necessary this time, and our kitty seems to be doing fine now that we are home again, but it gives us peace of mind knowing that she is keeping a close eye and happy to do whatever the situation calls for to keep our cats happy and healthy!”
“Lydia was super communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of my cats! I had some emergency maintenance situation at my apartment which Lydia helped a lot make sure my cats are safe while the maintenance was going on. I couldn’t thank her more for taking such good care of them!”
“I’d trust my two cats with Alejandro any time! He seemed to really enjoy spending time with them - and the cats seemed to really enjoy him! Alejandro was communicative and timely for all his visits. Would happily trust my cats with him any time!”
“Allie was the absolute best with my kitty Izzy! She sends updates and is very thoughtful of what she needs to do for my kitty to make her as comfortable as possible. She is also a very good communicator which is so appreciated. Izzy was happy and thriving when I came home.”
About: While I have more experience with dogs, I still love caring for cats and have pet-sat for many cat families! I’ve cared for cats ages 1–10 and understand that each cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to follow any care instructions, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication, or giving them space when needed.
“It’s a great experience for cat boarding. Leelay is very kind and nice to pets. She sent out multiple pictures everyday and monitor the pet’s eating/drinking/activities very well. Also she’s very responsive for answering questions and giving feedbacks when my pet had unusual behaviors. Highly recommend Leelay for pets boarding!”
About: I have taken a few years off but I am ready to start connecting with your pups again! :) Started volunteering at my local animal shelter in the Bay Area when I was 13 and worked there for 6 years. There I received professional training on walking and dog behavior with hundreds of different dogs. I even ended up adopting my own Staffy pitbull from there! On a personal note, I grew up in an animal loving home surrounded by furry, feathered, and scaly friends all of which I am also comfortable caring for! I currently work for the Seattle Seahawks M-Th (9-5pm) and home gamedays. I am available to work around that schedule! Especially Fridays-Sundays assuming the hawks aren’t playing at home! Pet safety is my first priority. In a client’s home I will keep a close set of eyes on your pup, ensuring every one of their needs are taken care of. This means staying focused on the pet and cautious of the environment, such as steering clear of other dogs that could potentially be unfriendly, keeping an eye out for distracted drivers, anticipating lunges at cats, squirrels, etc. I also make sure dogs don’t eat anything off of the street, get overheated, or distressed in any way. As a dog TLC volunteer at the Peninsula Humane Society/ASPCA, I received critical training on how to hold a leash properly to maintain control of the dog at all times.
“James is an excellent cat sitter. Setting up the times for key pickup and drop off was hassle free. My cat who is typically on the shyer side was immediately friendly with James.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for providing the best care for cats. I understand that every cat has its own personality and needs, from quiet cuddles to interactive play. I have experience administering medications and managing special dietary requirements for cats, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Additionally, I take pride in maintaining a clean environment, with deep-cleaning litter boxes and ensuring your kitty’s space is always fresh and comfortable. Whether your cat is independent or loves attention, I treat them with the love and respect they deserve.
“Yijun has been absolutely exceptional in caring for our cat while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and made sure every one of our cat’s needs was met. We really appreciated the detailed updates after each visit, including multiple photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. She also communicated promptly and responsibly whenever our cat needed a little extra attention, which we were very grateful for. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would highly recommend Yijun to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!”
“This was my first booking with Ani and I am very pleased with her care. I got updates every day with pictures which I love receiving. My cat looked engaged ☺️ I will most definitely turn to her again for future needs and really hope she will be available.”
“My go-to sitter no longer worked, and I was a little nervous about finding a new one. Aria is communicative, reliable and prompt and took good care of my cat while I was away from home. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Ni took great care of my cat! She is always on time very nice and gentle with my cat, and also playing with her a lot. So many lovely pictures and videos taken and sent to us, really appreciate everything!”

“Joyce was calm, caring, communicative, flexible, and made my pup feel like part of the family. I was provided updates and photos, and Dublin really welcomed my dog during his time. The space is clean and large and plenty of engagement and attention is given. I will be using Joyce's services again!”
About: Hi! My name is Eunjung, but my friends call me Cindy. I have extensive experience as both a dog owner and a foster family, and through fostering I’ve cared for dogs with many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I really believe in meeting dogs where they are—respecting their temperament, paying attention to their cues, and adjusting care so they feel secure and at ease. I care for one guest dog at a time. I already have a calm, friendly dog at home (8yo golden retriever), and keeping visits one-on-one allows me to make sure introductions are thoughtful and that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and not overwhelmed. I’m calm, attentive, and communicative, and I’ll always share photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. During the week, my husband will be home to do a morning walk and a play-time in the yard. I return from work in the afternoon, and we take our afternoon/evening walk. Dogs can go into the yard anytime they want. They are also welcome to stay inside! I have a spacious fenced yard, the chillest & kindest golden retriever to keep dogs company (or stay out of the way if needed), and great toys and equipment for pets in the yard.
“Dropped Milo for the first time in years with someone he didn’t know, not to mention in an environment he had never been to. Travis greeted us with a smile and took Milo inside to spend the day with him. I received frequent updates (including pics) which made me feel at ease knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He cared for him like he was his own, he had full reign of all his favorite areas….sofa and on Travis’ lap :). When I came to pick him up he seemed very calm and happy. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend them for any of your needs.”
“Stephanie was an absolute gem with our pup Apollo! She was very attentive and caring and sent us regular updates. We would definitely recommend her to our friends!”
“We had a great experience with Yun-Chun & Ao-Chang! Cookie and Olu were both so happy and relaxed when we picked them up, which made us feel very comfortable and reassured. They were clearly well cared for and loved. We will definitely book with them again in the future.”
About: I make sure to match with the dog’s energy, depending on whether they want a walk, play, or just a steady presence. I provide updates with photos and videos so that you can see how your baby is actually doing. I’ll make sure to keep their tails wagging while their favorite human is away (and hopefully become their second favorite)! There is always at least a person in the house to take care of the pets, with the exception of a few hours if we go out together on evenings or weekends. I am personally available almost all day everyday to keep your dogs comfortable. As my dog and cat’s favorite human, I always make sure they are doing well and dedicated daily play time to each of them individually. I have a fenced background so the dogs can play outside as long as they want to. If I go to your house, I will also play with them in addition to feeding, taking them to potty, etc. I treat my pets as my babies, and will make sure your babies are also taken care of when you are not around.
“Ketaki was wonderful with our 10-month-old Labradoodle, Emmy! She treated her like her own — keeping her active, well-fed, and on a consistent schedule — and sent frequent photo/video updates that gave me real peace of mind as a first-time dog mom. Emmy stayed with Ketaki and her dog Coco for a week and came home happy and relaxed. I would absolutely trust Ketaki again and highly recommend her to anyone — I can already tell Emmy is excited for her next stay!”
“Steve was awesome and very understanding when an emergency car situation happened! My Puppers was so comfortable with him she actually ate her food the first time she stayed. That never happens. Hoping to use Steve again in the future. Your dog would be happy to spend the day with Steve.”
“Ou pup had such a great day with Yen! The communication was excellent and she sent great photos throughout the day. We picked up a happy, tired puppy. Thank you!”
“Sreyrom did a great job with our husky mix. When we left him for a whole day he came back well-exercised and tired, and when we left him with Sreyrom for an evening he took a good nap. He can be quite anxious, but Sreyrom made sure he felt comfortable.”
“Tatiana was very helpful working with our sensitive dog to help her get settled into her house and introduced to her dogs. Daisy enjoyed her daycare afternoon and we have already booked an overnight stay with Tatiana.”
About: What makes me different is how much I truly care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’m very patient, especially with shy or nervous pets, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. I also have experience caring for both young and older pets, adjusting my care depending on their energy and needs. I keep owners updated with messages, photos, and videos so they always feel connected and reassured. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making both pets and owners feel at ease. Im currently not working to I have a lots of time to take care and play with your dogs and cats. I fit easily to their schedules and walks. I have a fenced backyard I have one cat. He is indoor I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their routine closely to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, clean water, playtime, and lots of love, while also keeping the home clean and organized. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm and caring environment where they receive attention, supervision, and a cozy place to relax. I always pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel happy and secure. I also send updates and photos to keep owners at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. When I was born, our dog we had treated me as her own puppy. I have had dogs throughout my whole life- some have been rescued, some adopted, some as puppies- and all shapes, sizes and breeds- including large and “bully” breeds. I have had my own rescued, reactive large, “bully” fur baby so I have first hand interaction and experience with those types. I am currently working through an online educational program, so my routine/schedule are pretty open, flexible and can be done anywhere as long as I have access to wi-fi. I have a fenced in large backyard, and I live across the street from a very large, dog friendly park. I have one dog that lives in our home- she is an 11 year old doberman who is extremely dog/human friendly with no health issues and no issues with other animals. Whether in my home or yours- your fur baby is family and will always be treated as such.
“Our dog, Tilda is recovering from a leg injury and we were nervous about leaving her with a sitter. But Sandra took great care of her, and Tilda did really well during her stay. Sandra was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12! I absolutely adore all animals. I have experience raising a puppy and have taken care of pets for many neighbors and friends! I’ll be sure to send you lots of photos of your fur babies and support them in their stay however they need! I’m available for boarding after 5pm on Thursday till Monday evening! I can take them out as many times as they need and give them constant love and attention! Taking care of your fur baby will be my top priority! I have an apartment with no other pets, so your fur baby will be the focus of my attention! I keep my apartment very tidy, quiet, and safe for pets. My hope is to make them feel right at home and to make their time away from you as easy as possible.
“Steve is fantastic! He is very attentive and catered to all my dogs needs. He provided adequate exercise, attention and love for my pup with his doggy daycare services while I was at work. I highly suggest Steve for all your rover needs!”
“I truly appreciate Xinya’s care for my boy Obi. They sent me many photos, took care of feeding on time, and overall I can see he had a good time and a fun walk. Thank you!”

“I was so grateful for Ao and Yun’s kind and thoughtful care of Harley while we were on vacation. Our family staying with her was unable to walk her so Ao and Yun were life savers for our energetic baby. They sent pictures and updates everyday they were there - thank you so much you two!”
“I would give 6 stars if I could. Responsive, timely, friendly and most importantly, Murphy loved her. She was professional through and through and really gave Murphy the love she needed. We will be using her from here forward!”
“Nigel is so great with our dog Kai. My neighbors have seen him with my dog and always compliment how he treats him. He always updates me on my dog's habits and things he's noticed about my dog. We're so grateful to have him walk our dog!”
About: Hi I’m Steven and I would love to get to know and take care of your fur babies. I have years of experiences and I’m currently a private skill trainer for NBA and pro basketball players. I do private training for basketball players so my schedule is pretty flexible. Just have to coordinate a time in advance and we can figure something out! The safety and well beings for your fur babies is the first priority and the non negotiable. By providing me as much information as possible will really help me prepare the job! I will make sure we have fun and stay safe at the same time!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite
About: I am and always have been an animal lover. I was the kid who always brought home stray cats and dogs convinced my parents to keep them. I rescued my own first dog 8 years ago, rehabilitated and trained her (a 5-year-old pittie called Missy who sadly passed away a couple of years ago). Since then I have been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I currently have a 6-year-old white fluffball of a cat called Jasper and I am also a volunteer with Seattle Humane. I am more comfortable with dogs who are past the puppy stage but am open to all ages (I've never had a puppy). I'm very happy to do meet and greets to ensure you feel comfortable about the fit. I’ll always share photos and updates so you know how your fur baby is doing as this is so important to me as a pet owner. I am currently not working full-time so I have plenty of space for helping out with your fur babies. I am available during the working week for dog walks and house visits, plus I can do short stay pet sitting. I prefer to sit in my clients' homes when they are away so that their pets stay in their normal routine and in the environment they know and are comfortable in.
“Leelay is great. She was kind, genuinely cared for our dog. She was great at paying attention to details. She was also committed and responsible, even during the days with the harsh snow and freezing rain.”
“Ana was very punctual and our dog was very happy to see her with each walk. She made extra efforts to help him adjust to his new schedule. We felt very grateful for her excellent care and communication”
“Denys and Andrii were amazing on such short notice! I needed a dog walker quick due to an injury and they were available same day. They took multiple pictures of my dog on the walk and she came back very tired and happy.”

About: I'm a pet sitter / house sitter, and dog walker. I have my own horse Shay, who lives in Bridle Trails, and I’d like to watch dogs and cats! I like walking dogs, throwing balls for dogs. I'd like to get my own dog someday, but Rover pet-sitting is a good way to hang out with dogs now. :) I'm a graduate student at UW. I work/study remote, so I can house sit and pet sit as long as you have WiFi. I can be around every 8 hours or so while housesitting. I'm active, I like to walk dogs. For dog training - I'm a horse expert, but a dog beginner / medium. I'm not a dog trainer, so I can't work with dogs with aggression issues. I can pet sit well behaved dogs, and energetic puppies are fine. I work and study from home- I’ll be away from the house for up to 8 hours at a time, when I ride my horse, or go in person to the UW. I follow the owners instructions on their pets! I like walking dogs, playing with dogs, hanging out with cats. I am not a dog trainer so I can’t handle the aggressive dogs. Well behaved dogs only please 😀
About: Hi there!! My name is Ana, and I am so excited to meet your fur baby! I always had dogs growing up and have watched and walked other dogs for friends, family, and others multiple times throughout the years! I love animals so much and can’t wait to help take care of yours. 🤍 I currently work from home most days of the week so I’m flexible during working hours and can actively care for your pets when boarding/day care! I also have most availability on weekends, mornings, and evenings. I love animals and have lots of experience with pets. I also live a very active lifestyle so I’d love to take your dog on walks and hikes if needed!
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of Max and all our needs. We really appreciate the extra effort she put in to make sure Max was well cared for! Thank you Brittany!”
“Colin was an amazing help for us, allowing me to return to work at the office with a puppy safe at home. Not only does our dog Huxley love him, Colin is also a great communicator. He's always quick to respond and never hesitates to let us know if there's anything off during his visits. I highly recommend his services!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely love! I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with dogs are always fun for me. I’m comfortable around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I’m always willing to adapt and learn the best ways to care for each pet’s individual needs. When I’m caring for your dog, they’ll have my full attention, patience, and affection to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. I also have a dog of my own, a 15-year-old Schnoodle who now spends most of his days happily napping and relaxing in his old age! I currently work remotely most days, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m happy to work around your schedule and adjust to your pet’s needs to provide dependable and convenient care. When caring for your pets in your home, I strive to provide personalized care based on your preferences and your pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to help your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while maintaining the environment and routines they’re used to.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals around my neighborhood and have had rescue dogs of my own. I love animals and will make yours feel right at home! My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays and can take care of your pet any time on weekends! Let me know what’s best for you:) I have a rescue dog of my own who is on the mellow side so she will most likely watch but not interact. I have a yard however it is not fenced, but I will use a gate to keep your dog in the yard.

It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Darlayna and her boyfriend were very accommodating and really took care of our pup Toby boarding him for 4 days and 3 nights. It was the first time we left him with anyone else for this long. We were very nervous in the beginning leaving him with a sitter for the first time but Darlayna's frequency of communication and details, the volume of walk time/exercise he was getting made us very comfortable while we were away. Darlayna and her boyfriend really took good care of him and I highly recommend their service. They are very approachable and really take care of the dogs they sit. I genuinely recommend their service and looking forward to working with them in future.”
“Lisa by far provides the best dog boarder experience we have ever had. She really does provide above and beyond care for our pups. She is a wonderful communicator and just loves our animals like her own. Making us pet parents feel at ease knowing our pups are in loving care and comes very trusted.”
“Amy was very communicative and took great care of my dog who can sometimes be nervous around new people. I am highly satisfied with the care my dog received and will be booking with Amy again in the future!”
“Sarah and Lamin take wonderful care of our dog who gets sad when he’s away from his family. Duke enjoys staying with their family. They send us updates and pictures and are very responsive. We have used their services multiple times.”
“Samm is a true dog lover, and took exceptional care of my dog, Winter. I received updates and pictures every day. She let me know about Winter’s adjustment progress. She provided Winter with a few different diets solutions for an upset stomach, including pumpkin and a bland diet. I felt very confident that winter was getting lots of love, attention and exercise!! I would definitely use Samm again!!❤️”
“Royce had his first stay with Qiaohui and her husband, and start to finish, it was an outstanding experience. We appreciated their communication, pictures and videos during his stay. He was relaxed, had fun with his new buddies and was clearly treated like part of their family. 5 ⭐️”
“Tatiana helped Daisy settle into her home fairly quickly with the other dogs. It sounds like they were able to play outside and enjoy the sunshine. She offered Daisy puzzles and treats which she always enjoys. She also slept well in her crate overnight without issue. Tatiana has been helpful in suggesting training tips as well.”
“Aina and family loved on our Daisy making our pup feel right at home while we were out of town. If Daisy could leave a review it would be a 5 star THANK YOU for spoiling me!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Neal and MaryJo are great and very kind couple! They always responded to my text very quickly, easy to communicate, took great care of our dog. Our dog Yuzu had a lot of fun at their place (indoor/outdoor) with other dogs and their sweet and friendly dog Zues! We are glad to have them as our dog sitters, Highly recommended!”
“Kaitlin took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is nervous around other dogs, but she helped him gain confidence. They came back very tired after all the fun adventures. Highly recommend! :)”
“We had a great first time leaving our dog Charlie with Yen and Terry! Their space for the dogs to play, plenty of daily update pictures, and consistent communication made for a very positive experience. Our pup clearly had a great time too since he came home sleepy from playing with all the other dogs. Thank you! We’ll reach out again soon when we need a place for Charlie to stay.”
“We left our 11 weeks old puppy for a day with Jenny and her family and are really happy with our experience. Jenny provided regular updates on text with photos. Would recommend.”
