“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”


“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”

Also, their dog Rex is the BEST boy with an amazing, temperament. He’s a sweetheart, who loves belly rubs and is my dog’s new, best friend. Highly recommended!”

We would highly recommend Delayni!”


“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”


“Jing took incredible care of our dog and kept us updated through texts and photos on how he was doing throughout his stay. Weasley seemed like he was part of the family for the weekend, and we would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting needs!”


“This was Benny's first stay with Paula and it was right in the middle of a brutal heatwave. Knowing that she usually takes the dogs on outings to parks or the grounds of some suburban public buildings, I was concerned about him overheating. Paula's daily photos allayed those fears since she made sure there was plenty of shade and plenty of water. Her children really help out.”
