1. Brandi V.
“My five month old puppy stayed with Brandi a few days this week while I was at work. Brandi let us come over ahead of booking to make sure we were a good fit, and she was great about doing a slow intro to her animals over multiple days. Brandi left great notes and photos and walked the puppy each day. She is quick to respond on the app. My puppy came home happy and (good) tired each day. She is still struggling with being separated from me in general, but she was so excited when I walked her up the front steps to Brandi’s place on days two and three! It’s really nice to feel like she’s going somewhere safe and loving while I’m off at work!”

4. Cyndy D.
“A great place for our little dog to stay for the day while we were out. Cyndy was as much taking care of us as she was Zola, making sure that we knew that she was okay and sending status reports with pictures. Zola had a great time!”
5. J D.
“Kota has been happy with J and been well taken care of. The backyard is big enough to get some exercise. I got updates and pictures throughout the day. You can trust your dog will be taken care of.”
6. Jennifer G.
“Jennifer was so kind and sweet to our pups. She sent us pictures so we could see they are well and having a good time. I will use Jennifer any time we need help with our babies. It’s hard to find caring people like Jennifer that really love animals and take care of them like her own. Yvonne oops”
7. Kayla R.
“Kayla was great with Pan! I left him with her 4 days in a row and he was super excited to see her by day 2. She was enthusiastic, consistent with pictures, and clearly enjoyed him. Would hire again!!”
8. Tracey S.
“Tracey is the best!! She took my last minute request to watch my pup without an issue at all. She also sent pictures and updated me while he was in her care! I could tell my dog had a great time at her house, and made himself right at home ? will be booking with her again next time I go out of town for sure!!!”
9. Susan L.
“Susan is amazing! A little background on me, I got my baby Kyro as an ESA, and he’s really been that for me. When I’m away from him I suffer from really bad separation anxiety, meaning I can’t stop thinking of what he might be doing and I even get extremely emotional to the point I can’t stop crying. I recently went to Vegas to visit my brother and I’m usually able to fly with Kyro since he’s my ESA, but because of the whole pandemic I thought it would be best for Kyro to stay with a sitter back home. The entire trip I was crying, I was just an emotional wreck and I just thinking about how Kyro was doing. The sitter wasn’t being responsive to me, I would ask for pictures and would get a reply 2 days later. It was just a bad experience for both of us, it made my anxiety worst and caused me to come back early. When I came back I found out he was being caged during his entire stay despite me telling the sitter that he didn't do good in cages. I found out because he even hurt himself trying to get out of the cage. Well after that I was obviously very skeptical leaving him with another sitter but after Kyro’s stay with Susan I have no doubt in my mind that Kyro and I will be going back with her. As soon as Kyro got home from Susan’s he went straight to sleep, he was worn out from all the playing her and her dog. I highly recommend her! She sent out pictures of Kyro’s stay which is always a plus. We did a meet and greet prior to the sitting and she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She explained her routine and introduced us to her pets, she also showed us her backyard and let me tell you my Kyro loved it! There’s plenty of space and grass area. Something that I was worried about was Kyro’s meals, he only does raw food and she was nice enough to accommodate to his needs and provide the attention he requires during his meal time. Also she’s very responsive through messages which always makes it easier on someone with my situation. Thanks Susan, not only are you helping me take care of Kyro but you’re also helping me ease my separation anxiety I have with him.”
10. Wendy M.
“Wendy and her family are the best. I always know my sweet pug is well taken care of and treated like one of her family. I am so grateful for her care and love for my sweet pup.”
11. Paul W.
“Paul was great with my pup! I was camping nearby his house and couldn’t take my dog to an excursion my family and I went to. Paul Sent me many pictures of walks and videos of my dog. I felt reassured he was safe while I was away for the day.”
12. Carlie B.
“Felt very comfortable leaving Ranger with Carlie - her communication was great. She sent pics and videos of Ranger and he slept the entire drive home. He must have had a great time. Thank you!”
13. Ashlyn W.
“Awesome to have Soldier Boy stay with Ashlyn and her family. She was so good to boy and sent me photos of him during his visit ! Ty again Ashlyn”
14. Maralina M.
“Maralina was so great! She sent me a lot of photo updates throughout the day making me feel at ease about being away. She is quick to respond making it an easy booking process. They have a great fenced in yard for dogs to run around. Awesome people - would highly recommend Maralina and Cedar to anyone!”
15. Rachel F.
“Rachel is the most loving, caring and responsible animal person I know. She creates such amazing, rich and full lives for her own pets as well as all other animals she encounters. For her beloved dog Condor, eating home cooked meals and spending days combing the beaches and mountain trails is standard life. Her balance of watching over him and letting him explore seems ideal; he is always kept safe out of too-big waves and checked daily for ticks from the woods, while he still gets to enjoy uninhibited sprints on our local dog-friendly shores and mountains. Rachel is also an amazing carer for all animals I’ve seen her encounter. I know she has saved, nurtured and rehomed a local kitten in need; I’ve seen her calmly approach, secure, and return multiple dogs running in the street back to their homes; she has nursed sick birds back to health ~ she cares so deeply for all life on this planet and is so dedicated and resourced to provide for all the beings she meets. She is a true gem!”
16. Mandy H.
“Mandy is wonderful. My pooch loves her. She's very easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”

18. Sashana G.
About: I’ve been working with dogs and other animals for the last 3 years. I worked at Camp TLC training dogs and working with golden retriever litters. I understand the behavior of dogs very well and your fur baby will be in great hands! Free all days of the week, if not I will let you know before hand. Currently making Rover my #1 priority! Please contact for a great pet sitter:) I have two cats of my own who are very friendly. I am very careful about not letting them out and making sure they are well fed and have plenty of water. I have taken care of many dogs as well, if they need boarding I have an extra cat room for the cats to separate from the dog if they aren’t friendly with cats. Extremely comfortable with watching any breed and temperament of dog.
19. Keren S.
“Bumpy’s first stay with Keren was perfect. He was so excited to see he was going back to her home when we drove up. Bumpy and I had done a meet and greet with Keren and another family, the other family was nice and I could tell they love dogs but Bump didn’t seem to be very comfortable. During our visit he stayed close to me and didn’t do much exploring. He had such a different reaction to Keren and her family, from the minute we walked in her door he was gone, sniffing, exploring, meeting the dog of the house. To see such a marked difference in his reaction made my chose easy, he was letting me know which family he preferred. So to pick him up at the end of his first stay with Keren and find him happy and tired after a trip to the beach and a walk was wonderful. I could tell he had bonded with Keren and I will not hesitate scheduling another visit.”
