“Once again Bhavani was a perfect host for our Bernedoodle. She followed all our instructions and special requests and sent us video/pictures updates several times a day, so we were always informed and at ease during our vacation. We could not be happier with Bhavani’s services and will definitely use her again for our next trip out of town.”
“First time boarding our pup was nerve wrecking but Jessica sent tons of pictures and we knew that Noodle was so well taken care of and having the best time! Thank you!”
“Margarita took perfect care of the family dog. Needed a last minute sitter and she came thru in time. Definitely my new sitter from now on. Thank you Margarita and also thanks to your Husband Ramon.”
“Jing was terrific and took great care of our pup. She sent pictures and videos frequently so I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands. This is her full time job so she has lots of time to care for the dogs. She is also very responsive which was great. I highly recommend her.”
“As always stellar service and Ruby has become an extended part of the hosts family! Daily texts with video and photo updates put my mind at ease that Ruby is being well taken care of. She even has a little “boyfriend” Sebastian that they follow each other around and take naps together. In terms of flexibility, communication and professionalism, Isbath, her family and fur babies deserve more than 5 stars! She comes highly recommended!”
About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“Our 8year old doggy had her first visit here and jumped out and ran to the door excitedly as if she came everyday. Seuron and DK took Lulu out for walks and showered her with love. They are the nicest couple! We got lots of updates and we were at ease immediately. Lulu settled in right away. We highly recommend Seuron and DK! We plan to be repeat clients.”
“Jenny and her family took great care of Martin while we were away last week. Communication was smooth and easy, and she send me pictures of him every day. It was such a peace of mind know that my beloved Martin was in great hands.”
“Riley’s week long stay at Lisa’s went well. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up.Lisa sent me little updates during the week so I wouldn’t worry! (I really appreciate that she made accommodations to take him at the last minute.) great experience for us both, being the first time I had to leave him😊”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny! She is incredibly nurturing, kind, and genuinely sweet. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. What truly meant the most was her kindness and flexibility when my daughter had unexpected car trouble and couldn’t pick him up. Without hesitation, she went above and beyond and personally drove my dog back to my house. That level of thoughtfulness and compassion is rare. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable to care for your pet, I highly recommend her. Your fur baby will be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention!”
“Bonnie was available for a first time, last minute boarding request and the whole experience from a quick meet and greet onwards was great. Very reassuring to have Luke stay at her home. He was comfortable for sure. Thank you!”
“Anthony is amazing with Livvy and Bailey! He takes such great care of them, always keeps us updated, and makes sure they get plenty of walks. He really pays attention to the little things and sticks to their routine, which gives us such peace of mind. We will definitely book with him again!”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”
“Megan and Nick created the most comfortable home away from home for Brady. He came home so happy and energetic. We got regular updates and pictures which was comforting to know he was doing well throughout our trip. We would for sure recommend them and book them to watch Brady again.”
“Jessica was very proactive in her communications. We were at ease because of all the periodic communications, photos and videos that shared with us. The house was very welcoming to our little fur baby. Thanks again Jessica for taking care of Lizzie.”
“Monica and her family were awesome! They cared for our sweet pups and we received updates and pictures throughout the stay. This is the 1st time she watched our 2 dogs and we were so happy she took care of them! We will be booking with her again! Thank you Monica!”
“Lucas & Katherine took such good care of Snowy, just like their own pet , they are just wonderful people ! I have been looking for a good place to drop my baby when we go on vacations for many years , finally i have found these two wonderful dog loving people 😍, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving home for their furry friend while they are away. Thank you Lucas & Katherine !!”

This was the first time leaving Cheeni, our 5-month-old golden retriever, for more than one day, so of course we were nervous. Margarita and her husband immediately helped put us at ease and made us feel confident in our decision. They took Cheeni on long walks, carefully followed the schedule we provided, and even worked with her on some basic commands we’ve been trying to teach her ourselves. It meant a lot to us that they were so attentive and patient with her. They also let Cheeni sleep in their bedroom, knowing she was still new to being away from home, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we picked her up, Cheeni was so excited she tried to happy-jump on Margarita, which told us everything we needed to know about how much she enjoyed her stay. Our vacation also ended up getting cut short, and they were completely flexible about us picking her up earlier than planned. Thank you both for taking such great care of Cheeni—we truly appreciate it!
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!
Rishi and his family provided excellent communication, engagement, and care for our dog Stella. Rishi sent pictures & videos often and Stella looked VERY happy walking and playing with their dog Pearl. Even smiling while napping! They played together so nicely which was such a relief as Stella is timid around aggressive or too assertive of dogs.. Rishi and his family are true dog lovers and their dog Pearl is very well trained and sweet! I highly recommend, especially if your dog has a playful, easy going, and friendly temperament!
