Charlotte is thoughtful, caring, prompt, and her attention to detail, while taking excellent care of my dog was unparalleled. She is a stand out even amongst some amazing sitters I have had the privilege of working with, and truly caring for, Doug E . I would recommend her to anybody that cares about their pet. Thank you so much, Charlotte.

Tharan is so great. He showed up within 5 minutes to take Zena off my hands when I was in a bind. This was not scheduled, or even talked about. It was a random call asking if he could help out and he didn’t hesitate to say yes & showed up within a couple minutes. Best dog walker out there

About: As a dog caretaker, I have a passion for caring for and nurturing furry friends. I have always had a deep love for dogs, and my years of experience in the field have taught me how to provide them with the best care possible. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I take great pride in making sure that each dog in my care receives the attention and love they deserve. One of the most important aspects of being a dog caretaker is understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual dog. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care, I am dedicated to providing personalized care for each dog in my care. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment that meets their specific needs. In addition to my years of experience in dog care, I am also committed to ongoing education and professional development. I regularly attend seminars and workshops to learn about new techniques and technologies in the field, as well as to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in dog care. I believe that ongoing learning is key to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my care. Above all, I am dedicated to providing a loving, nurturing environment for each and every dog in my care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a long-term stay, I take my role as a caretaker seriously and am committed to making sure that every dog receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. I believe that dogs are truly special creatures, and it is an honor to be able to care for them and make a positive impact in their lives. As a remote worker, my schedule can be unpredictable at times. However, I am committed to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my life, which is why dog day care is such an important part of my routine. By enrolling my furry friends in a reputable dog day care facility, I am able to ensure that they are receiving the socialization, exercise, and attention they need, even on days when I am tied up with work obligations. This not only benefits the dogs, but it also allows me to focus on my work with peace of mind, knowing that my pets are being well-cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, dog day care provides a valuable opportunity for my dogs to interact with other dogs and people, which helps to promote healthy socialization and prevent behavioral issues. Overall, dog day care is a vital component of my schedule as a remote worker, as it allows me to prioritize both my work and my beloved furry companions. Having a fenced yard and providing constant supervision, coupled with love, is the ideal environment for dogs. A fenced yard provides dogs with the freedom to play and exercise in a safe and secure environment, while constant supervision ensures that they are always being looked after and protected from potential hazards. This combination of factors promotes both physical and mental health, as dogs are able to engage in their natural behaviors while also feeling secure and loved. Furthermore, the bond between a dog and their caretaker is strengthened through constant supervision and affection, creating a positive and trusting relationship. Overall, a fenced yard and constant supervision, combined with love, provides the best possible conditions for dogs to thrive and lead happy and healthy lives.

Edgar was an absolute angel for getting back to us so quickly and being so accommodating while we took a day trip to LA. He stayed in communication with us the entire time, asked good questions and took amazing care of our somewhat hard to handle pups! I would highly recommend him for anything pet related, especially with big hyper active puppies. Thank you again Edgar!

About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all

Melissa is the BEST! Xena LOVES her. I sprained my ankle and Melissa jumped right in and rescued me. She picked up our regular routine and brought Xena to Elings Park so she could play with other pups and chase her favorite ball. Xena arrives home happy and exhausted! I highly recommend Melissa!

I had the pleasure of having Krysta pet sit for my cats, and I couldn't have been more impressed with her level of care and dedication. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every interaction she has with them. Not only did she ensure that my cats were well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with them and give them the affection they needed while I was away. Krysta is incredibly responsible and goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each pet she cares for. I felt completely at ease knowing that my furry friends were in such capable hands. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Krysta as a pet sitter and dog walker. Anyone who entrusts their beloved pets to her care can rest assured that they will receive the best possible attention and affection.

We traveled up from San Diego with our dogs to get married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and needed someone to hang out with them outside while we signed papers and did the ceremony. Lisa was so wonderful!!! She was so quick to get back to me as we were making plans, she showed up on time and was warm and friendly. She also offered to stay longer while we were taking photos which was so nice because it was pretty chaotic. I’d definitely hire Lisa again and can confidently recommend her if you need a reliable dog sitter.

Natalie is great! I've had her for longer stays at my apartment and shorter check ins for quick trips and always came back to a full food bowl, clean litter box and a very happy cat. She always sends me updates and pictures to let me know how things were going and is quick to let me know of any issues. 10/10 would recommend for sure!

Mia is the best dog sitter I have EVER had - literally! She is so attentive and makes sure to keep me updated when needed. My pup was sad to leave her, it was so cute to watch! I would 100% recommend Mia to watch over your doggos. Aside from being a great caretaker, she is the sweetest human with the best energy and you can tell she just adores animals. I will definitely be calling Mia whenever I need a pup-watcher!

When I was looking for a pet caregiver, one word kept popping into my mind: trustworthy. From the moment I met Lucy, I knew that I could trust her with someone as important as my pet. She has cared for my pet for over 5 different occasions and has done a fantastic job. There is no better option than Lucy as a pet caregiver because you can trust that she will be the best caregiver that she can be!

Angela is an incredible person, and I could not trust anyone else to look after my pup. Angela has her own golden doodle, Sully, who she takes on long walks and has trained to sit, roll over, paw, etc. I am not as diligent when it comes to raising my baby, so I was delighted to find that he flourished under his care. I can promise you that Angela will show your pet the same love and attention that she did with Sully and Sonic! She’s a strong communicator and follows directions well. I would trust her to leave my space in better conditions than how she found it.
