“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Melissa and Allan took great care of Leo! He got lots of long walks, play and snuggle time. We also got tons of updates and pictures of our pup. I would definitely have them watch Leo again.”
“We had a great experience with Erin and Kevin for our golden retriever Kobe! Erin proactively set up a meet and greet which helped Kobe adjust to their home as a first time guest. We got great updates throughout his stay and he had plenty of exercise, one day getting over 3 miles of walks in! Would highly recommend these kind folks for pup care.”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Michaela was so great! She sent many photos of her walks with Nova during her stay. Nova can be a hard puller on the leash but Michaela made sure that she still got her daily walks in. Nova was calm and happy when I got her back so I know she enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Michaela!”
“Mimi is a real dog lover! She took excellent care of our little Rosy and sent us pics of their outings and snuggle feats. We could really enjoy being away knowing that Rosy was in such good hands. I was delighted to find someone who specialized in working with small, shy dogs. Rosy isn’t comfortable everywhere, but it was easy to see that she felt at home with Mimi and Tribble. We will definitely book again 😊”
“Matt was excellent! Our greyhound Tanner had a fantastic time during his stay. Matt updated us with photos and pickup/drop off was a breeze. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Theresa Ann took such good care of our pup and was very communicative with updates and photos while we were away. Lucy came home with the biggest smile on her face, and she can’t wait to hang out with Theresa Ann again!”
“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“Danielle and Joy are outstanding sitters! Our little boy is nearly 15 and on various meds for cancer, Cushing's and other random ailments. On top of that he's been through a lot of change recently, including the loss of his brother of 14 years. Danielle and Joy not only cared for his needs, but were conscientious of what was required and brought him comfort and happiness during his stay. They sent us photos regularly confirming all was well and weren't afraid to ask clarification questions before and during the booking. It brought us such joy and peace during our trip knowing he was doing so well. We wholeheartedly recommend Danielle and Joy and already have Rupert scheduled for his next stay.”
“Zoni is the best and she was amazing watching my dog mylo! I would trust her with my pet anytime! She sent daily pictures and updates on how he was doing and their walks together. She had so many new toys for him to play with too which was really awesome! Zoni was great and I would love for her to watch mylo again soon :)”
“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ponyo as she has shown incredible care for our Jindo over multiple visits. Ponyo has always gone above and beyond, caring for the specific needs of our dog while keeping us informed each day of his status. We know he's in great hands with Ponyo, and appreciate for everything that she's done for our pup.”
“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”

“Thanks Kelly for checking in on my two cats while I was away for a week! Always good to know they have someone to look in on them. Kelly does a great job sending photos and updates.”
“Sydney was the best pet sitter yet! Her communication was outstanding, and her notes were very detailed. She went above and beyond for my kitties and even gave them a little extra time loving on them. I'm excited to have her as a pet sitter again!”
“Look no further for the best care for the best price! Zenia took amazing care of my little guy, Indigo. Very caring, trustworthy, and friendly! Highly recommend! Thanks Zenia, Indigo says hi!”
“Susan was excellent! She was fast to respond to texts and very flexible. I appreciated the care she took with my cats to make sure they had the best visits possible! Would definitely book again :)”
“Glory is great! My cat loved her and I was so so appreciative of the last minute availability and amazing communication as well, happy to have found such a great rover nearby :)”
“Thanks for taking great care of Rudy and Edie! They were calm and happy when we returned. Peace of mind in knowing we have someone kind who likes cats caring for them is priceless.”
“This is my second time booking Deanna to do twice daily drop in visits for my cat, Nala. She is WONDERFUL. Deanna is attentive and communicative, and she is so extremely kind and gentle with my girl. 10/10 recommend booking with Deanna!!”
“On Rachel's 2nd visit with my cat Biscuit he actually hung out with her. He even let Rachel pet him. This is amazing as Biscuit never hangs out with people that come to my house. He always hides. I couldn't be more pleased and relieved. Rachel has a gift, a calm presence. I believe this is why Biscuit felt so comfortable. Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of Biscuit.”
“Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!”
About: I've had cats all my life, and have been with some of them all the way from kittenhood through their senior years. I've always had a passion for all things cat, and pride myself on being fluent in "cat language". I'll happily give even the shyest or most skittish of cats the calmest atmosphere I possibly can.
“There's a reason we continue to book Grace. Our pup clearly has a blast with her and she really takes the time to make sure he gets some exercise and work on training with him!”
“This was my first time using Sara to look in on our cats. She sent sweet photos every day, so I knew they were being cared for while we were away. This was such a nice touch. Would recommend.”
“Kate is amazing!! Our cat was being very difficult and Kate hung in there and brought her around!!! Thank you Kate for your diligence!!! Thoughtful, kind, caring and someone who I could trust in my home and with my baby.”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone for a week. She provided lots of pictures and details about how our guy was doing with each visit, and he really bonded with her. We definitely recommend Melissa and will use her again.”
“Allie was great! This was the second time she’s watched our cats and I would book again! She left great notes and sent lots of pictures. She went above and beyond with what we asked.”

“Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Grace made it simple. She is organized, reliable and experienced. Our dog warmed up to her immediately. She asked the right questions upfront and sent updates after walks / boarding that put us completely at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Mimi is so great and attentive with mollie. I get updates, pictures and video of mollies day and can see how comfortable she is and how much fun she is having. I love knowing the mollie is so well taken care of while I’m at work!”
“This was the first time my husband and I ever left our pups with a sitter. We felt reassured and completely safe Zeus and Dash were in great care. Matt, too, has a giant breed, which is important to us because we have 2 Great Pyrenees. They all had fun together. We received plenty of pics, videos and ample communication throughout the day. We’re lucky to have found Matt and his sincere love of dogs. Thank you so much Matt! We truly appreciate the love and care Zeus and Dash received. I highly recommend him but he’s our sitter for life ?”
“Tomas took very good care of Evie, he gave her a lot of attention and really spoiled her. Evie had a great time , got along well with Karma and both respected each others space. Tomas made sure Evie had lots of playtime, treats and snuggles. Evie can’t wait to see Tomas & Karma again!”

“Maria was wonderful with my senior dog! She was great at communicating and was so thoughtful with how to make my dog as comfortable as possible in her home. Will definitely work with Maria again!”
“Our first Rover appointment for our young puppy and it couldn't have been more comforting to see the great pictures and update from Kelly. Looks like he really enjoyed his visit. We'll definitely come see Kelly again! ?”
“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”
“Kim was absolutely wonderful! Pickles immediately wagged his tail when he saw her for the first time and did not hesitate to go inside for his first day. Pickles has an insane amount of puppy energy, and Kim was incredibly patient with him. He looked so happy at pickup. Kim sent me pictures of Pickles and his new friends. Looks like he had a blast with the other pups. We will be back! We have already rebooked :)”
About: I have been taking care of my own and my friend's pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience with cats and dogs from different sizes and ages. At the moment I live with and take care of my sweet Filipa. I currently work from home self-employed, so I have plenty of time, willing and flexibility to care for cat or dogs, besides my own kitty. I have a spare guest room if your pet needs to stay with me. I will walk them and feed them according to your directions. They will be sharing the house with my cat. I can also visit your pets at your house or walk them as needed.
“Marni was great! Easy communication, friendly, knowledgeable, a great listener. I was comfortable leaving my dog with her and my trust was well placed. When I picked up my dog he was happy, silly, and his usual self. Just like I left him. Thank you Marni!”
“Samantha took our sweet puppy when we needed a sitter last minute. Cosmo came home so happy and tired out from the fun day he had. I received updates that were appreciated and even a photo of our dog SMILING with his new friends. Thanks again for everything!”
“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”
About: I’ve lived alongside animals almost my entire life...from cats and dogs to ferrets and chickens. Having cared for animals at all stages of life, I will strictly respect any accommodations your pet needs. I also know how hard it is to leave them! So whether your pet has endless zoomies or is a total couch potato... they’ll be safe, understood, and cared for exactly as they are. 💛 I work a balanced schedule of WFH and in-office hours. My availability reflects days that I am either off-work or can be flexible and WFH. You have a guarantee that I will be able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout listed days. I have a non-fenced 800 sq-ft townhouse on a pet-friendly shared lot. Care in home (both in my home and your's) is negotiable and based on your preferences! In my home, your pet will be allowed on furniture and will be supervised during potty breaks outside. Please specify any crating preferences. (You will need to bring their crate and supplies with you.) I have a small, 13 y-o chihuahua mix who does well with other pups and may be in the home at the same time, if not with his spare humans! Potty breaks throughout the day. Walks usually occur in the afternoon unless otherwise specified.
About: Hi, I'm Thuy ("Twee" or Nikki). Former social worker and teacher, now a stay at home mom working part time on my art program for neurodiverse children. Animals are my other love! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, but more so recently after leaving my career. As a stay at home mom, I have the extra time and attention to care for your pet. And I will love them as they are a part of my family! Since we don't have pets, Rover has been the next best thing to happen for us. We've bonded deeply with the ones that we've had the chance to care for and are so grateful. Co-regulation happens. Safety happens. Play happens. We really enjoy every experience. As a neurodiverse family, it's been so healing for our brains and nervous systems. I am at home full time 7 days a week. If I'm not doing home duties, I am spending time with my kids outside. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who I homeschool. They are sweet boys and love animals as well. We'd love to have a companion to join us on our walks and small adventures (if that's their thing). Otherwise, staying in is so nice too - we love doing art, making food, and having company at our cozy home ❤️ We have AC for the hot summers for added comfort. I have most experience with small dogs that require gentle care, administering medication, and providing care for their special needs. I am at home full time 7 days a week. My husband is a small business owner/chiropractor with very flexible schedule so if I need to run errands, he takes over. Someone is always home so your pet will never feel alone. Providing safety is essential in building trust and a good relationship. Providing the environment for rest and play is secondary but equally as important. I strive to make every pet comfortable in our home, respect boundaries, and cater to their specific needs.
“Niko loves going here and they take such good care of him! He pulls to the door in excitement and that’s the best sign that there can be to show how good they are to him ! They send me his pictures and keep me updated on what he’s doing throughout the day. Pick up and drop off has been extremely smooth- even at times that I need to drop him off extremely early. Both Lorrie and Andrew were extremely accommodating!”
“I had an emergency come up and needed someone to watch my dog last minute, I reached out to about 10 sitters and only 1 was available and more than willing. Ro made the entire day about my dog, a day that wasn’t even planned, took him for walks, bonded with him, socialized him with other animals, just above and beyond. An incredible human being.”
“Rachel is kind, patient, and flexible. Evie has had such a wonderful time playing at her house with Jane. She came home tired and happy and I was so happy to have some pet help for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Rachel and Jane!”

“Sydney responded promptly to a request with little lead time. We arranged for the specifics of the dog care and she was very communicative throughout the entire process. I look forward to using Sydney again in the future. My pups were very happy and content when I got back to them after their walk :)”
About: Hi! I'm Ginny (they/she) and I looooove animals. I'm a pet parent to a 2 year old kitty, grew up with black labs, and have many animal nieces and nephews in my life. I get along with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and I especially like befriending shy animals. My day job is as a career coach with flexible hours, so my schedule can work around your needs. I'd describe myself as patient and warm, and I can't wait to care for your pet! I'm a career coach working fully remote with a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to spend time with your pets whenever is convenient for you. It's my goal to make sure your pet feels safe with me throughout our time together. For food motivated critters, I love to spoil them with treats, and for those with food intolerances (like my cat), I know that being patient and warm makes all the difference.
About: Hi, I'm Stella! My legal name (which Rover requires me to display) is Leigh, but in day-to-day interactions I prefer to go by Stella. :) Although I've been a cat person all my life, I've also always loved dogs. Recently my family members have been adopting dogs into their various collections of pets, including a Manchester terrier who has decided I'm his second favorite person (besides my mom, and I can't blame him there!). I've absolutely loved the opportunity to care for him when my parents travel a few times a year, and will absolutely bring that same level of enthusiasm to caring for your pup! I'm primarily self employed, as well as doing gig work, so I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the care they need on a schedule that works for you! I'm most often available on weekdays, as the gigs I do usually fall on weekends. I'm very interested in learning your pet's personality, and taking the time needed to get them comfortable with me. I'm particularly good at "cat language", but am dedicated to learning "dog language" as well. I'd also love to hear from you about your pet's likes, dislikes, preferences, and anything else I should know to give them the best experience possible!
“Saghar is fantastic! She’s great with my pup and kitty, knowkedable and kind, but also highly engaging with me as a pet-owner. She helped me troubleshoot my cat’s litter box issues and resolve them. I trust her completely and feel very relaxed knowing she is doing the best for my fur-babies at all times. I highly recommend her!!”
“Jenae was great with my dogs. Both my 15 year old senior dog and 8 month old puppy were well cared for and had fun with Jenae while I was at work. I’d recommend booking with Jenae for your pet care needs. Thank you for your help! 🙂”
About: From cats to dogs and anything in between— I would love to take care of your pet! I’ve been around animals my entire life. Currently, I’m an animal foster parent and I’m looking to watch some extra furry friends when I don’t have a foster in my care! I have experience with puppies and kittens, elderly pets, and medical cases. No matter the challenge, I’m willing to meet it and see your animal first and foremost as a member of your family! I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friends! I’m currently working a full time job on a hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays which allows me ample time for flexible pet care. My weekends are typically free and I’m happy to sit and care for plenty of furry friends I’m an outdoorsy individual and I typically walk 2-3 miles a day on my own. I’m willing and able to let dogs sniff to their hearts content! For feline friends, I’m adept at reading body language and cues. I will meet them where they’re at whether that means playtime, snuggle time, or quiet time.
“Alyssa is quickly becoming Rowdy’s favorite… I know because he does his little howl every time he sees her! He loves spending time with her and he came back from his walk exhausted! Alyssa is a godsend, making my crazy life easier!!! 😍”
About: I've taken care of dogs all sizes and ages. I have experience giving medication, that includes doggies who are reluctant to take it :) I have facilitated general comfort care for dogs in the past that suffered from seizures. I'm no stranger to long walks, giving baths and even assisted with training a friend's puppy. Dogs and cats bring a lot of joy to my life and I would love to help make your life easier, and you can know your furry friends will be in great hands! I work full-time from late afternoon to night, so I have a good chunk of the morning/early afternoon to get walkies in with your dog and give out tons of scritches and treats! I'm also available any time during my days off! For now, I won't be caring for your pet in my home as my dog has trusting issues. However I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits at your home!
About: I grew up with dogs and had a pug with an ex partner for 5 years. I love dogs and have taken care of many of various temperaments through dog sitting for friends. I feel that I'm good with dogs and recognizing their needs. I can't currently have a dog so I would LOVE to get to spend time with them more often via walks, hangs, caretaking etc. I'm a musician not currently working a day job outside of touring, so between gigs and tours I have tons of time throughout the week that could be used for pet care! My schedule at present is quite flexible and I can easily work around folks needs for their pets during their work hours. I love pets and will give yours all of the love and care while I'm with them! If its in your home I will absolutely respect your trust while I'm there, keeping your pet and home safe and secure. For my home, my wife and I have a fairly large space right next to parks, trails and the beach. Your pet will be plenty entertained and kept safe while here.
About: I am the one at the party hanging out with the dog/cat instead of the people…probably because I grew up with lots of cats and dogs (foster and forever home). I volunteer at the shelter as a dog walker several days a week. Between the shelter animals and my pup, Isla (11 y/o), I am especially experienced with reactive/anxious or shy animals. I was raised with a large variety of animals around constantly, as my father was a vet who worked with both domestic and exotic species, so I learned a lot, including being very comfortable giving medications. I have also been raising my own dogs since middle school and have roughly 12 years of experience watching other people's animals. I currently work freelance from home and I don't have any other obligations that aren't flexible. I have plenty of time to hang with your pets for as long as they/you need. I offer drop ins for potty breaks and playtime, as well as dog walks. Walks would vary based on the pets needs, but I am fully willing to accommodate most requests while giving walks. I volunteer regularly at the shelter and have experience handling pets with high anxiety.
About: Been around animals my whole life, love cats and dogs, i work a flexible schedule so I'm open to last minute requests and changes as needed. I am very responsible and responsive, so even though I am new to Rover, you, your pet, and your home are in good hands <3 I work remote freelance, so my schedule is completely flexible and open when I am in town! Last minute from same day to same week is easy for me :) I am flexible to provide any care you specify and adapt to your needs! I am great at following instructions and always play on the safe side so your pet takes priority!
“I am new Rover user and Katie has been a godsend. She house sat/watched my pup when I was in Hawaii for a bit and did a great job. She's very good at providing details about the day and sending pictures of Biscotti. She also helped me out last minute when I ran up to Bellingham to see a friend. She rules. You should book her.”
“Jeana is wonderful!! She’s always on time, great communication, and very flexible with our chaotic schedule. She truly cares about our dog, even ensuring his safety when a loose dog approached them during a walk. Thank you Jeana for taking such great care of our fluffy baby 😊”
About: I have been taking care of my own and my friend's pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience with cats and dogs from different sizes and ages. At the moment I live with and take care of my sweet Filipa. I currently work from home self-employed, so I have plenty of time, willing and flexibility to care for cat or dogs, besides my own kitty. I have a spare guest room if your pet needs to stay with me. I will walk them and feed them according to your directions. They will be sharing the house with my cat. I can also visit your pets at your house or walk them as needed.
About: I've raised and trained dogs for over 20 years. I use positive reinforcement and clicker training. I have experience with puppies through geriatric aging, and match my energy to your dogs needs. I have also trained service dogs, trained for public access, and tasked trained. If you have a service dog who needs to maintain their training while in care, I am able to accommodate. I am fully remote wfh and have a very flexible schedule to care for pets. For dogs boarding in my home, I typically start with a potty break in the morning, afternoon walk with potty break and another walk and potty break in the evening. A fourth potty break just before bedtime. For younger dogs, potty breaks without a walk can be more frequent. For house sitting pets， I will not be in your home 100% of the time during weekdays as my wfh setup in necessary for my job. I will do morning potty breaks, lunch break with walk, dinner break with walk, and evening potty break before bed. If your dog needs more companionship during the day, lets talk about it and work something out! I use a gentle leader or halti harness for dogs that pull, clicker training for positive reinforcement. I have a fenced dog run at my building, and also offer pet washing services for dogs who are happy bathers.

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“We had a great experience with Erin and Kevin for our golden retriever Kobe! Erin proactively set up a meet and greet which helped Kobe adjust to their home as a first time guest. We got great updates throughout his stay and he had plenty of exercise, one day getting over 3 miles of walks in! Would highly recommend these kind folks for pup care.”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Michaela was so great! She sent many photos of her walks with Nova during her stay. Nova can be a hard puller on the leash but Michaela made sure that she still got her daily walks in. Nova was calm and happy when I got her back so I know she enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Michaela!”
“Matt was excellent! Our greyhound Tanner had a fantastic time during his stay. Matt updated us with photos and pickup/drop off was a breeze. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ponyo as she has shown incredible care for our Jindo over multiple visits. Ponyo has always gone above and beyond, caring for the specific needs of our dog while keeping us informed each day of his status. We know he's in great hands with Ponyo, and appreciate for everything that she's done for our pup.”
“Catherine was so wonderful with Pip! Sent lots of photos and updated us on all their activities. They did plenty of walking and playing! Catherine also knew the perfect times to take Pip outside to avoid crowds and other dogs. Highly recommend Catherine!”
“Janet is awesome! She watched my 10 month old puppy and did an excellent job with him. I also chose her because she had good communication and sent me daily photos with fun captions. My puppy also enjoyed his time there and didnt want to leave haha”
“Tomas was great with Sally. Very communicative and always let me what was going on, and sent the sweetest pictures. Sally also got along really well with his pup, and they became fast friends. I will definitely book overnight stays and daycare again!”
“Couldn’t ask for better sitters for our dog! Lorrie & Andrew watched our pup while we were out of the country and sent multiple daily updates. This ensured us that our dog was in great hands - and it was so sweet getting videos of Maisy and our pup playing together! Our flight home was canceled at the last minute and Lorrie & Andrew were super responsive and flexible - they were able to take our dog for extended nights on short notice. We would certainly book with them again!”
“Dexter LOVED his stay with Jennifer, Ken, and Kaiya! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter for multiple nights, and I was a bit nervous to say the least. However, Jennifer made sure to send me small updates throughout the day with loads of pictures and videos of his adventures. It certainly made my time away less stressful knowing I left Dexter in good hands. From the very start Jennifer was responsive and helpful, letting me know what I should pack for him and even agreeing to meet up with us before his stay so Kaiya and Dexter could mingle! I will definitely contact Jennifer again should Dexter need a place to stay and also highly recommend her and her little family to others in need of reliable doggy care!”
“Anyssa and Nakoul were amazing pet sitters! I get nervous when I leave my dog with a new sitter too. They go above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable and are very communicative too. We did a meet n greet and let my dog sniff out their apartment beforehand. They sent plenty of pics/videos and gave updates during his stay. Couldn't be happier with the care my dog got from them. Highly recommend booking! :)”
“Davis was fantastic with our dog, a 75 lb mixed breed. She is very anxious when we leave her with a sitter. She’s also sometimes stand offish with men she doesn’t know, but she liked Davis immediately when we met him in a meet and greet before our trip. Davis’ calm, confident way with dogs put us at ease, and we felt comfortable leaving our pup with him for a full week. A few days before our trip, our dog got a dog bite that got infected, so we had to leave her with new medications and care instructions. Davis handled everything with no stress, made sure she got her medication, and took great care of her while she healed. We came home to a happy, healthy dog and would absolutely hire Davis again and recommend to others.”
“Leaving my 21 month Boston with Kirsten and her family for 6 nights was my first experience of leaving my dog with anyone overnight. We have been together almost 24/7 since I got her as a puppy as I work remotely. We had a fantastic experience! At the meet and greet Kirsten made the effort to connect and relate to Lucy and invited us to experience where she would be living and playing. As well as introducing her to dogs she would be playing with. It all was very reassuring. Lucy clearly enjoyed Kirsten and her family. She was happy to be there, and it was the perfect place! I’m happy to know now that Lucy can stay at Kirsten’s to so I can feel free to travel through the future! Highly recommend!!”
“Kenji had a great stay with Kevin! Kevin was attentive to Kenji’s needs and even kept him separate from another dog staying with him to ensure dog comfort.”
“Layla always loves going to Regina’s! When I pack her bag to head over there she gets really excited and gets the zoomies :) I always trust Regina with taking care of Layla and love all the pics she sends over!”
