“I found Sharyl through Rover. She is such a warm, kind hearted and fun loving person; I felt safe to leave my fur babies with her as soon as I met her. Both of my boys (a dog and a cat) are needy and they want to be with humans all the time. Sharyl gave my boys the attention they needed and she even let them sleep in her bed! During our trip, she also sent us pictures and videos to give us updates. I am so happy that I discovered Sharyl; I feel that we hit the jackpot!”
“Qi was very nice and super friendly and loving to Nala (my dog). Nala seemed to have a really good time in their house, she played with another dog, walked and was fed at the times I requested. The house is roomie and has a big patio. Nala came straight to go under my bed and sleep. 😆. I strongly recommend Qi.”
“My second time booking with Natalie. She is great at keeping me updated on my little Leilani. As a puppy she has a lot of energy, she gets plenty of play time which is great. I will definitely be rebooking with Natalie in the near future.”
“I simply cannot say enough good things about Christa! My lilttle dude is the most important thing in my life and finding Christa has been a blessing to us. I can be a bit of a helicopter dog owner and Christa takes such good care of Lucky I literally never worry. She’s kind and considerate and has a love for life that she extends to all living creatures- inviting Lucky in to her life caring for him on walks, beach days… it’s so great. I promise if you have her care for your animals you’ll be a return customer after the first time. She gives delightful reports, is attentive and she even went out and got little toys and a brush for Lucky! I met Christa through Rover and have now dropped Lucky off with her countless times, I would trust her with my life at this point. 10000000/10.”

“Elena was awesome, my dog Lucy was in excellent hands with her I would definitely book her again!! She never failed to send me updated even when I didn’t ask, she just did an excellent job”
“May was seriously the best sitter for my baby Toby. She took care of him like her own and made sure he was having fun during his stay with her and her husband. May was very consistent with communication and giving me photo updates which I deeply appreciated. Will for sure book with her from now on anytime I need someone to take care of my baby. THANK YOU AGAIN MAY!!!”
“We had our dog Bella stay with Elaine for a couple nights during Thanksgiving since we were out of town. Elaine set up a meet and greet at her house so our dog could meet hers and everything went great! She has a very nice set-up inside and outside where the dogs can play. Elaine sent us a lot of pictures of our dog while we were gone - she even sent a little slideshow of Bella playing with the dogs within 45 minutes of dropping her off! When we picked up Bella, she was happy to see us, but instead of being hyper, she seemed so happy and relaxed. It was a great experience and we will definitely try to book Elaine next time we head out of town.”
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”
“Arriyanna is the best! She sent me pics of my baby playing and updates on her during her stay. Patitas came back so happy! Will most definitely book with Arriyanna again!!”
“Maria. Was absolutely amazing from drop off to pick up. She took my KaShay for many walks and lots of play time. Maria also put a cute hat on KaShay because it was her birthday and I was unable to celebrate with her. Maria sent me updates all thru the day cute pictures. I really trusted her with my baby. I also noticed Maria was very attentive to KaShay and her needs which I highly appreciated. I would recommend Maria to any of my family and friends and even strangers who are looking for a dog sitter. She did by far a excellent 150% job. I Thank you so much for your help Maria you did a great job.”

“Perla is truly a great doggie sitter. My puppy was very happy with his stay there she bathed him and took him for walks. He loved her dog and played so much at her house. I enjoyed all of the pictures and updates that Perla sent me throughout the day. It made me feel at ease knowing my little jax was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”

I highly recommend Mary! My dog, Leo, had a fantastic stay. She was incredibly friendly and attentive. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated.

Shaun was amazing with my dog! Super reliable, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Shaun to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
