Simona was so considerate and caring for my anxious pup. She went above and beyond to accommodate Nellie and communicated throughout. Our flight home got delayed and Simona was willing and able to stay an extra night, which saved us a ton of stress. Thank you so much.☺
Hailey S.
Simona and Jake did a great job taking care of Bodie. They texted me lots of updates and were very thoughtful bringing water for him on a long walk. They agreed to board him on very short notice which I was appreciative of. Thanks!
Phil M.
Simona took great care of my dog Khali while I was out of the country for a week. She stayed at my place and left it in impeccable condition. She always sends photos and videos of my dog while I am away and Khali always looks like she has so much fun staying with Simona and Jake. She's my go to for any dog sitting in the neighborhood!
Sophat S.
Simona is such a caring and attentive dog walker. I was a little nervous since it was my first time arranging a walker for Rocky, but she stopped by my apartment first to make him feel comfy and asked all the right questions. Was such a lifesaver. Thanks!
Megan M.
Simona is FANTASTIC! She made us feel at ease from the moment of our meet and greet, and her experience shines through! She is knowledgeable, and was prepared to address leash reactivity on walks with our pup. We felt comfortable having her stay in our home and watch our energetic gal. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, and flexible in our coordinating. We are so happy and grateful for her time, and would love to have her watch our gal again.
Lauren T.
Simona and Jake were lovely hosts to our pup, Vinny. Their communication and flexibility was excellent, and I could tell from the photos they sent that Vinny was having a great time. I would absolutely recommend Simona and Jake for all of your pet-sitting needs in the future!
Mary S.
Simona and Jake took amazing care of my girl Khali while I was traveling for work. They were very responsive to my initial request and was incredibly accommodating to changes in my travel. I received photos and videos of Khali happy and playing with them. Thank you so much for providing Khali with such great care during her stay!
Sophat S.
Simona and Jake were so caring and accommodating! I felt totally at ease leaving my dog Rocky with them and knew he was getting the best care and having a great time. They asked all the right questions about Rocky’s many quirks, sent plenty of updates and were totally professional. Thanks again!

We have a 10 year old rescue with some anxiety issues, especially around people she doesn’t know. We trusted her with Jake and Sabrina for our 11 day vacation and we would 100% do it again. They immediately made her feel safe and cares for. We received daily updates, and they made every effort to accommodate her fussy eating when she is apart from us - for which we are ever grateful!
Rebeca M.
Simona and Jake were great! They clearly love dogs and Thea was extremely well taken care of and had a blast with them!
Spruha J.
Every time we go out of town we leave Charlie with Simona and Jake and every time we feel fully comforted that he is in excellent hands! They are so loving, and it’s really his home away from home!
Neha M.
We were looking for someone with experience to dogsit in our home for a week and Simona, aka the Mary Poppins of canines, was incredible. After an initial meeting at our apartment (where she asked all the right questions), two things were made explicitly clear. #1. This was not her first rodeo. #2. Our dog (a 14 month old male Aussie mix) was OBSESSED (in love?) with her. While we were gone, Simona sent plenty of pictures and videos and seemed unfazed at the training challenges we're working on (slight reactivity to other dogs on leash). We returned to a clean home and a still-living, untraumatized dog! It was nice to know that our boy was in super capable hands and that he was probably too lovestruck to me or my partner that much. Would definitely rebook.
Tash K.
Jake and Simona were absolutely wonderful! Simona was sitting another dog, so Mishka hung out mostly with Jake and he was fantastic. He sent adorable photos and updates about their adventures together and I felt 100% confident that Mishka was in good hands (which isn't always the case). At the Meet & Greet, they made a real effort to connect with Mishka and make him feel comfortable in their home. Jake and Simona are true dog lovers and their enthusiasm was awesome. I would absolutely recommend them!
Melissa S.
Nice and flexible, sweet and playful with our crazy penny and great feedback at the end, we appreciate it ! Our crazy dog got treats and love, I recommend Simona and Jake!
Maelle R.
Simona and Jake were great! They made it easier to leave our dog behind while out of town. Really enjoy the pics and videos they send. It’s like our dog has a vacation as well!

2021

Simona and Jake are the best! I’m a repeat customer, and this time, Simona house-sat for me in addition to dog-sitting my two dogs. I couldn’t have hoped for a better guest — she left my home cleaner than I did! And my husband and I are so appreciative that she stayed in touch and sent us a lot of photos while we were away! Our dogs were in great hands — Simona gets our highest recommendation!!
Beth B.
Simona and Jake always take such great care of my pup, Zero. I feel comfortable going out of town knowing he’s in such good hands.☺
Brittany P.
Simona watched Charlie at our house and was a wonderful houseguest and Charlie couldn’t have been happier!
Neha M.
We could not be happier with Simona & Jake! They treated our Vito like he was their own. Many videos and photos sent through out our trip to ensure our little puppy was having the time of his life. Will definitely use them again!
Stephanie D.
Always feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Simona & Jake - they take such good care of my pup. Can’t recommend ‘em enough!!
Erin F.
Simona and Jake were absolutely brilliant! I tend to have a hard time leaving our pup, Daisy, but I knew from our meet and greet that she would be in great, loving hands. Simona and Jake are clearly pros at puppy sitting and kept Daisy happy with toys, games and puppy TV (Daisy's favorite). They had Daisy's safety and happiness in mind the whole time, and sent us a ton of funny pictures and videos so we could be at ease. We'll definitely book Simona and Jake again in the future!
Sam C.
Simona and Jake take their job of looking over your pup very seriously. And by serious, I don't mean without humor or fun, I mean that they are very thoughtful, thorough, prepared and professional about the care they provide. Our guy Fritz, an American Pit who is not always the easiest dog to walk around town given his energy and sometimes less perfect manners with other dogs, was well cared for and understood by S&J. They shared many photos and updates and basically made sure Fritz was comfortable and looked after. They are good with timeliness, communication and basic approach. Can't say enough about these two pet caregivers.
Jonathan M.
Simona went above and beyond during her stay with our dog while we were out of town for a week. She left our apartment sparkling clean, sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay and was incredibly accommodating to our dog’s specific needs. The questions she asked and fact she made a point to meet our dog ahead of time made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care from the very beginning. Will definitely be booking again!
Lydia G.
Cannot thank Simona & Jake enough for taking care of my dog, Finn! They took excellent care of him & sent me the sweetest photos/updates. They were wonderful!
Erin F.
My dog Scrabble had a great time with Simona and Jake! I got regular updates and he was smiling all the time!
Mil V.
Simona and Jake were so wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog for a couple of nights and it made such a difference knowing she was in great hands. They were very communicative, sending updates and photos, and asking thoughtful questions to make Mellie more comfortable in our absence. They were really sensitive to her needs and anxieties. Experienced sitters, they also weren't fazed by administering meds or whatever she needed while we were gone and were very flexible and sweet to work with. Highly recommend!
Courtney A.
Simona and Jake were such great sitters! I got many pics of my dog and felt really comfortable leaving my dog with them. They were very loving and caring towards my dog who had a great time!
Danielle S.

Simona and Jake have cared for my dog Zero three times now and each time they’ve exceeded my expectations! They send regular photo updates and Zero looks happy as can be in all of them. I’m so grateful to have found two trustworthy caregivers for my pup.❤
Brittany P.
Simona did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Zero! He’s new to the city and can be challenging to walk, but she handled it like a pro and sent regular photo updates. Will definitely book again!☺
Brittany P.
Simona and Jake went out of their way to give our little guy all the love and attention that he's used to getting from us. They quickly figured out all of our dog's quirks and adjusted their routines to accommodate for his needs. The periodic photo and video updates were a nice touch as well. Would highly recommend and will definitely be seeking out their services again.
Garrett T.

2019

Simona and Jake were great. Scrabble looked really happy when he was with them, and they were very thoughtful and responsive from the first meet and greet to the entire stay. Would definitely work with them again!
Mil V.
Another great sitting experience. Dogs have a great time. Good communication.
Alison G.
Charlie had a wonderful time with Simona & Jake. They were very professional and trustworthy, and also a lot of fun with the pup! They sent frequent picture of charlie having fun and were really flexible when my husband and I extended our trip. They even went out and got charlie more of his dog food, since ours ran out! Definitely would leave Charlie with Simona and Jake the next time we are out of town!
Neha M.
Once again, Simona & Jake took wonderful care of our elderly dog in our apartment while we were away! They are incredibly thoughtful and caring, which is particularly important to us because our 13 year-old dog has a whole host of specific medical/dietary/lifestyle needs. On this particular weekend, Hermes had been suffering from GI issues, and Simona did an amazing job administering his medicine, reporting on his recovery, and giving him extra love and attention. By the time we got home we could tell that he was feeling much better! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!
Daniel B.
We keep coming back to Simona and Jake to watch our pup! They are super responsive, reliable, flexible and above all caring for Toby. He gets so excited when he knows he's going to stay there and we get tons of pictures. I can't say thanks enough!
Neza B.

2018

Once again Simona did a wonderful job taking care of Hermes and our apartment while we were away for the weekend. We hate to leave Hermes behind (he can get anxious and need extra cuddles when we're apart!) but knowing that Simona was there to take care of him eased our worried minds. Upon our return, Hermes was happy and healthy, and our apartment as spotless. Thank you Simona for another great stay!
Daniel B.
I was very pleased. Jake was great at communicating. Their apartment is dog proof/ dog friendly. They live close by. During the meet and greet. I became very confident that he would do a great job. They will be first on the list next time I need a dog sitter.
Dan S.
Simona and Jake did another excellent job taking care of Hermes! Just like last time, communication and hand-off / pick-up were seamless. They sent lots of photos and Hermes seemed to have a great time. It gives us great to peace of mind to leave Hermes in such good hands. We highly recommend them!
Daniel B.
I could not thank Simona and Jake enough. They were both flexible, very responsive, professional and king. I could tell right off the bat that they were true animal lovers and had a lot of experience watching all different kinds of dogs with different personalities and different needs. Toby felt right at home in their place with the numerous toys that were waiting for him. They sent a lot of updates and great pics and Jake even took him on runs to get the extra energy out. Our pup came home tired from a weekend filled with love and adventure!
We have already booked them for another weekend and will definitely be looking to them to help with Toby in the future!
Neza B.
Simona & Jake are lifesavers! They helped take care of my dog when I was out of town and came to the rescue when my dog was having separation anxiety. They're super giving and caring. I highly recommend them!
Paul E.
They really are lovely people, I just left a longer review but since Shaggy stayed twice, I will say again that we are soooo happy to have found people we trust in our neighborhood to care for our sweet pup with severe separation anxiety. Trustworthy, funny (they sent the best photos to my whats app as requested), very responsive and just made us feel like we could go about our business and not worry.☺
Jenny M.
SIMONA AND JAKE ARE THE BEST! Shaggy deals with extreme separation anxiety so I needed Simona and jake to watch him for a few hours the past couple days and honestly, Shaggy is our baby LOL so we were very nervous to leave him with strangers in a strange home. But their home is really charming, inviting and playful. They had lots of toys and blankets set up for Shaggy to feel comfortable and to be entertain in all parts of their home. They had so many balls to choose from, he tried to play with all of them at once! LOL They really kept an eye on him and made sure he was ok at all times since he is still a puppy (this we noticed most during the meet and greet. They are very professional even in the meet and greet. They sent adorable photos and consistent updates as they knew we were nervous. ☺ He didn't want to leave their home, which honestly at first made me worried that he wouldn't like our home anymore LOL, but it actually just reassured us more that we will DEFINITELY use them again as we feel secure that Shaggy will be well taken care of, safe and have a ball! (see what I did there?) lol *p.s. he was very happy coming back to our home as well ☺ We look forward to a longer stay in December!!!!!
Jenny M.
Jake and Simona were once again able to help out with a last-minute request. We have construction going on and needed to have Wallace watched during the day with fewer than 24 hours notice. They were super accommodating.
Sarah D.
They sent plenty of photos and Breeze seemed happy when we picked her up. However she came home with a kennel cough and often this is picked up from air particles or dirty toys from other dogs - it can last two weeks in the air if not cleaned. This is the risk of boarding dogs at private homes and part our fault for not knowing more about the environment she wasn’t going to.
Duncan M.
Simona and Jake took excellent care of Hermes during our honeymoon, and they were really delightful to work with. We feel so happy to know that we’ve found such great sitters in our new neighborhood! Everything from initial meeting to pick up went very smoothly, and we loved all the pictures we received of Hermes during his stay. We also felt fully secure that Hermes was well cared for and in very good hands, which gave us great peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip. We would highly recommend Simona and Jake to anyone in the area, and we will look forward to working with them again in the future!
Daniel B.
Baxter had a fantastic time with Simona and Jake. Their communication is great and they kept us up-to-date with pictures and updates during his stay. He was thoroughly spoilt and can't wait to go back there!!!!
Fiona F.
Simona and Jake took great care of our 6 month old pup! It was our first time away from him for an extended period, so we were of course a little nervous to leave him for over a week. We got regular updates and pictures about the fun they were having - Frankie, our pup, always looked happy and content in the pictures. He seemed right at home. If I had questions, Simona was quick to respond. They were accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Would use them again for dog boarding.
Jessica B.
Simona was a perfect dogsitter! Our dog Maynard can be a little bit of a handful, but Simona immediately recognized his quirks and knew exactly how to work with him. She took great care of Maynard even under challenging circumstances (a pretty intense thunderstorm) and is a great communicator -- planning was easy and she sent us regular updates with lots of photos. We'll be excited to work with Simona next time we need someone to watch Maynard, and we think Maynard will be too!
Sam R.
Dogs had a great time. Were so pooped when we got back- stayed busy and loved on the whole time we were away. Simona and Jake were did a great job with the dogs.
Alison G.
Simona and Jake were great hosts. Communicative and very easy to work with. Best of all our pup came back happy and had a fun time with them. Highly recommended!
Michael C.
Simona and Jake were great caretakers for my two little dogs (one is a puppy). I know the dogs were loved and cuddled and Simona and Jake put up with puppy nuisances like peeing ;)
Laurie S.
Simona and Jake were available in a pinch (we’ve used them once before) and were so accommodating in our emergency situation. We enjoyed the pictures and updates as we really missed Wallace. We appreciated their flexibility and knew Wallace was in good hands.
Sarah D.

Simona was responsive and friendly. She sent lots of photos and updates. The stay went smoothly, thanks!
Chris P.
Simona and Jake are great! We had our dog at their place last time we used them, and this time Simona stayed over at our place. Both times were great.
Katherine E.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our big baby!
Denise L.
Simona and Jake are the best! So accommodating and communicative, and my dog is happy and well cared for (and always excited to see them!) Thanks so much!
Caitlin M.
Simona and Jake were AWESOME! We appreciated their very thorough preparation and accommodations they made for the timings of our trip. They sent along daily updates as well as fun stories/comments with the pictures which helped us feel like Wallace was having a blast. Thank you!
Sarah D.
Simona was a wonderful sitter for Lola! We are so happy to have found her. While we were on our trip Simona sent daily updates to let us know what Lola was up to. We were so impressed with Simona's professionalism. She takes dog sitting very seriously and we are very appreciative of how thorough she was in learning all of Lola's likes, dislikes and quirks. We knew she was in good hands and will definitely use Simona again.
Jenny E.
I'm surprised our little guy Harley wanted to come home!! Simona and Jake were amazing parents to Harley. From day one we knew he would be in good hands. Not only are S&J dog lovers but they're also very professional and understand that your dog is like a kid and there are a lot of emotions involved, especially when having someone else take care of them. We were away a week and a half and there wasn't a single second where we worried about Harley. 1) because we knew he was in a safe and loving home and 2) because we were constantly receiving pictures and updates. Professional and passionate, Harley's second parents are one of a kind. Thanks guys!!!
Magnus G.
Simona was so responsive and attentive to our pup! He had a great time and Simona kept us in the loop with lots of pictures and texts.
Ariane D.
Really friendly and willing to work around our schedule. I would use them again.
Ranulf G.
Yoshi and I love Simona! She has wonderful energy and was so flexible and understanding when my flights got very delayed. We really loved the fun updates and pictures while Yoshi was staying with Simona. We will definitely work with her and Jake again!!
Jules W.
Simona and Jake were so wonderful to work with - very accommodating and quick to respond! My dog Laika was immediately comfortable with Simona during her meet and greet visit, and was clearly at ease and happy from the photo updates throughout her stay. Would definitely book again!
Caitlin M.
Simona is our guardian angel that takes care of our friend when needed. Bono loves her and her partner.
Francisco N.
Thank you, Simona and Jake!! Winnie felt so at home while we were away! You pampered her and sent tons of photos to keep us posted on how she was doing. Thank you, thank you!!
Betsy S.
Fantastic!
Chuck M.
Wow!!!!! is how ill start off. Simona was absolutely amazing in every way. Pics, updates, and really enjoying the time with my dog. I can't even express how happy we were with her and the service. I would highly recommend to anyone who is neurotic about leaving their baby when you go on vaca. 5 stars all the way!!!!!
Alan L.
Simona and Jake were great! They kept in close touch with us over Henry's 4 night stay, with pictures and texts. I felt totally secure and relieved that he was in good hands with people who loved him! I will definitely take him to Simona and Jake next time!
Jeanne B.
Great sitters! Very responsive and accommodating and all set up to give my dog the perfect stay. They sent lots of pics and updates and were all around just great.
Tiffany T.
Our rambunctious cocker spaniel pup, Milo, stayed with Jake and Simona for nearly three weeks while we were overseas. Milo couldn't have been in better hands. Jake and Simona sent us daily updates and photos of our pup and it was clear to us from the get go that they were taking exceptionally good care of him. This is no mean feat, as Milo is an energetic little guy (to put it mildly) and comes with a host of allergy problems that require extra attention. He means the world to us though and we cannot say thanks enough to Jake and Simona for taking such good care of him!
Sam S.
Simona and Jake took amazing care of our dog. Great communication and very helpful and responsive and responsible. Will definitely be asking them to keep him again.
Nicola S.
Simona was great. We left her with our new puppy for 9 days! She clearly made Frankie very happy and helped with the basic house training and simple commands we had started. Lots of cute footage and reassuring messages sent my way. Good communication when she had questions or tips for us. Above and beyond.
Susan B.
Where do I even begin with Simona and Jake? It all started when our dog-sitter bailed on us a few weeks before vacation. We were in a stressful rush to find someone good to watch our rather large (115 pound) dog, Drake. Simona responded to my email immediately and was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to set up a meet and greet very quickly, to ease our stress. Simona and Jake loved Drake immediately and they made us and Drake feel very welcome and comfortable, as if we had known them for years. To book Drake's stay with them was a no-brainer. Drake is an older dog with some special needs, such as some walking problems because of his hips. Simona and Jake made sure to cater to his needs and they took care of him so well. They were great with giving him meds and treated him as if he were their dog. They also sent a ton of pictures of Drake while we were away, showing that he was happy and doing well. I would definitely book a stay with Simona and Jake again, no question, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. You could not ask for two more caring and kind people to watch your dog while you are away.
Colleen Z.
Simona and her partner are amazing. It's so hard when you can't take your dog with you to a trip... it's like part of you is missing. But for the first time I did enjoy my trip because Simona was always in touch sending pictures and also describing how was their day. I hope I can take Bono with me for next trip... but if I can't Simona is definitely my first option.
Francisco N.
Simona and Jake were great! They were very accommodating, flexible, and easy to communicate with. When we booked Walt's stay with them, there was a scheduling conflict with another dog. But instead of simply saying no, Simona and Jake made the extra effort to help us and decided to let Walt stay at their apartment the first half of the week and then switch to our apartment the latter half. We're so happy they did that because Walt clearly had the best time with them. When I went to pick up our keys the next day, Walt was ecstatic to see Jake.
Toward the end of the trip Walt got a little stomach bug, but Jake and Simona were very upfront and communicative about it the entire time. They even were prepared to take Walt to the vet if need be. We really appreciate the extra care and attention they gave Walt when he wasn't feeling well. They even checked in about him after the stay was over to make sure he was feeling better.
Walt was in the best hands while we were gone, and we highly recommend Simona and Jake to anyone looking for a Rover sitter!
Davis W.

2016

Simona and Jake are absolutely amazing! We are so lucky to have met them. It was our first time having any sitter stay at our place, but we felt comfortable and trusted them enough with our home and dog. They are very communicative and provide daily photos/updates. They always try their best to understand the needs of our dog and take care of him like their own. Your furbabies will be in good hands with them!
Julie C.
Simona and Jake were awesome! Doug took to them pretty quickly, and if the photos they sent throughout his stay were any indication, he had a great time with them. He was happy to see me when I came to pick him up, but still seemed to be sad to be leaving his new friends- and he was exhausted once we got home, which is sign that he definitely played the whole weekend I was gone. Doug will for sure be staying with them next time I need a dogsitter, and I would absolutely recommend Simona and Jake to anyone looking for a place for their dog to stay with peace of mind and assurance that their dog will be part of the family and well taken care of.
Julie G.
Simona and Jake replied to my request very quickly and set up a meet and greet where Juniper made herself very at home right away with toys and a little nap. They sent several photos and were in constant contact during her stay. Given it was over a holiday, there was a scheduling hiccup so they even picked her up and dropped her off again which was incredibly convenient. She looked like she had a great time and I will definitely book them again next time!
Nikki D.
My fiancee (at the time) and I were super stressed leading up to our wedding week. We needed someone to watch our first fur baby for a whole week because we were traveling for our destination wedding.
We've never left Champ with anyone not part of the immediate family for more than a day and now we had to leave him with "strangers" for a whole week!
We were coming up with contingency plans to leave him with busy family members, large daycares and of course dog sitters. We didn't know what would be best for Champ but we did know that Champ can be selective with dogs and wanted to find someone that had experience with dogs like Champ. Our stress was nearly immediately melted away once we met with Simona and Jake.
Being first time fur baby owners we're the type to not trust anyone to take care of him and easily rush him to the vet for any small ailment. Simona and Jake made us feel at ease and took one huge burden off of us so that we could enjoy our wedding week. They are both super honest with us and never hid any issues from us and if something did come up, they let us know in the least alarming way possible. Don't get me wrong: Simona and Jake took great care of Champ but we're overly picky dog owners and Simona and Jake accommodated all of our requests.
Our favorite from leaving Champ with Simona and Jake for a whole week were the awesome dog pictures. Not just any dog pictures though, they all came with hilarious and cute stories that made us laugh and feel reassured that we left Champ with the right people. Jake and Simona are such gentle, warm and responsible caretakers I would probably trust them to take care of a baby and will certainly return Champ back to them if we need sitters for our honeymoon or any other vacation.
Felix T.
They were absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of our pups and they constantly sent us updates with pictures. We're extremely picky with whom we leave our babies with and we will 100% leave them here again.☺
Pavitra M.
Simona and Jake were the perfect caretakers for our pit mix, Chelsea. She can be shy and prone to separation anxiety from us, but it seemed like she had a wonderful time during the weekend she stayed with them. We received plenty of photo updates which showed her cuddling, playing and generally looking happy and comfortable. Simona and Jake’s love of dogs is obvious, as is their understanding that animals are individuals – just like humans. I don’t know how else to describe how happy I was with the experience, so I’ll just say I would definitely book again!
Lauren L.
Simona and Jake were the absolute BEST! Our dog had such a great time, and she was worn out when she came home - I almost thought she didn't want to come home! It was very obvious that Phoenix was well cared for, and I really appreciated the constant pictures and updates on her. Also, this couple was very accommodating with the times we needed to both drop her off and pick her up, which I appreciated with my work and travel schedule. Thank Simona and Jake!! I really appreciate it!
Stephanie D.
Simona and Jake were AMAZING with Opie. From the moment we met them, we knew Opie would be in goods hands. They were very thorough.
Julie C.
Simona’s energy, attention to detail, affectionate personality, and overall just easy-going attitude is what made my pup's trip absolutely amazing. Her questions are on point, and her pictures are priceless and illustrate how happy my pup was during her trip. I will absolutely book Simona again. I actually attempted to book her soon after but someone else had already reserved her time, which proves that she is amazing so book her ASAP.
Jennifer L.
Simona and Jake were great with Wally. They were incredibly responsive and provided fun photo updates. Wally came home pooped from all his play time. I'd definitely recommend Simona and Jake.
Spencer W.
Another great stay for Sasha! During drop-off, she ran right up to her old pal Jake to give him some kisses. Simona and Jake always take such good care of our pup and pay special attention to her individual needs. They are great people and very easy/flexible to coordinate with as well!
Radford L.
Simona and Jake took care of my Bull Terrier, Simon; and I couldn't have asked for more flexible, caring, and fun people to take care of him.
I was updated with pictures of Simon's adventures and could see that he was having a really great time. They even made him a little fort to nestle and burrow into! And when Simon started habitually waking them up in the middle of the night and barking (from some bump or nightmare) they were great sports about it and took turns staying up with him to keep him calm and comforted. Forts and comfort that is the type of fun and caring attention I want my dog to get!
From our meet and greet to the day we picked our boy up, Simona and Jake kept in touch and were responsive and attentive to all our concerns, questions, and scheduling needs.
I recommend them without hesitation. If you want your dog to have fun and be truly cared for while your on vacation let them stay with Simona and Jake!
Elizabeth L.
Simona and Jake watched our Zoë for us over a long weekend and it seemed like she had fun with them! They were great to work with, great communication, and we enjoyed all the photos they sent us. We'll definitely be booking them again to take care of her when we're gone (as much as we miss her, it's great to know she's loved while we're away)!
Lindsay W.
What a wonderful first Rover experience! Simona and Jake were SO accommodating and took excellent care of Pliny. They sent picture updates that were awesome (and hilarious!) and my little guy had a wonderful time. Will definitely use them again!
Kelley A.
Simona & Jake were great! Received tons of photos of my pup while I was gone and lots of text updates. Awesome communication. Not to mention they welcomed a pup who can be a bit of a handful outdoors! Would totally recommend Simona & Jake. Your pup will be in good hands!
Ashley A.
This was Sasha's second stay with Simona and Jake, and it was another great experience. We received lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, and she always seemed so happy and content. Booking and coordination was also a breeze!
Radford L.
This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jack pot with Simona and Jake. They clearly love animals and are responsible and reliable. Wally enjoy his vacation as much we we enjoyed ours and he came back tired from his many walks. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends.
Rachel N.
My dog had a great stay with Simona and Jake. Simona was also great for me to work with -- always quick to reply to messages, flexible with scheduling, on top of the important details (food, medication, etc.), and great with sending updates while I was out of town. I would be glad to hire Simona and Jake again in the future and would highly recommend them!
Beth B.
Simona and Jake were great! They know their way around different breeds and their respective personalities, and really made sure that we were all comfortable with the arrangements during the meet n greet. Simona kept us posted throughout the stay with lots of messages and photos, and Sasha looked perfectly at home with them. Will definitely reach out again the next time we are looking for someone to take care of our pup!
Radford L.

Simona and Jake were absolutely fantastic. Our dog Meeko had a little bit of separation anxiety toward the beginning of his stay but Simona and Jake were extremely patient with him and were able to give him lots of love to help him get through that period. By midweek he was very playful and was very comfortable as evidenced by the ton of great photos that Simona was sending. It really helped us enjoy our vacation to the fullest knowing that Meeko was in excellent care. A big THANK YOU to them, and would love to have Simona and Jake take care of Meeko again the next time we're out of town.
Christopher L.
Franklin was so well-taken care of during his stay with Simona. She provided lots of pictures and was very organized in preparing for Franklin's visit. We would be more than happy to use her again!

Simona and Jake are the best... !!! Beverley had the most fantastic week-long stay with them while we were on vacation, and we highly recommend them. They "get" dogs!! Thank you so much! Five stars all around.

Simona and Jake were wonderful sitters! Muxy stayed with them for a full two weeks while we were out of the country, and we were quite nervous about leaving her for such a long time while we were so far away (it was our first big trip since we adopted her). But Simona sent updates and adorable pictures that made it clear Muxy was having a great time. Simona was also very conscientious about updating us about some stomach upset issues that started just prior to the stay. And she was very receptive to our concerns about avoiding certain situations, since Muxy isn't great with other dogs.
When we picked Muxy up, she watched after Simona and Jake as they returned to their apartment; she seems to have really fallen in love with them, and was in great, healthy spirits! We would definitely trust Simona and Jake with Muxy again.

Simona and Jake took great care of my dog, Charlie, and followed my special instructions about walktime. Simona sent me pictures while I was away and treated Charlie like her own. I hopefully can bring Charlie here during my next vacation!

Simona and Jake are great dog sitter. They were very accommodating and gave me consistent updates on my dog. They are compassionate, easy-going, and flexible. I would recommend them to any dog owner looking for a sitter.

They are AMAZING. My dog stayed with them for 5 days. I got constant updates about my dog every day. They treated her like she was part of their family. She was responsive, responsible and flexible. I am extremely happy with Simona (and Jake). I would not hesitate to board with them again.

Jake and Simona were very helpful and took good care of Sadie. They provided us with frequent updates on Sadie and how she was doing. It was important for us that they actually enjoyed her company, which they did. When we picked up Sadie, she seemed calm and contented.

Simona is the best dog walker I ever had! Both my pups Harley and Diego loved her especially when she stayed over with them when i was out of town. Responsible, punctual and very loving, you cannot ask for a better caregiver for your pup!

Simona is the ONLY person I trust with my dog. Her approach is loving and attentive, firm on boundaries but full of love, excellent attention to detail as far as meds, food, walks, treats and general habits and she really understands the importance of texting pics and checking in with us often without overdoing it. Simona understands the subtleties and the extremes of pet behavior and navigates pet sitting with an intuitive ease. Don't hesitate to have Simona watch your "baby". You will breathe easy with her and can trust that all will be well while you are away.
