“Kayla was wonderful with our 3 pugs. It was obvious from our meet and greet that she is great with animals. Our babies took to her immediately. While we were gone, she sent pictures regularly, which is so important to us when we are away from them. We returned to a clean house and yard and to fur babies that were excited to see us but were not anxious or stressed at all, which means they got plenty of attention while we were away. We've already booked with her again and would 100% recommend her to others.”


“Jaden is simply amazing! We were worried about leaving our pets, especially our Akita (not even two years old) but Jaden came up a couple of times to get to know him first and by the time of our trip he was excited to see her! She is kind and thoughtful - sends pictures throughout her stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough! We will continue this relationship, for sure!”


About: Hi, I’m Dominie! I offer loving home-style boarding with 2 daily walks and plenty of updates. Your dog will feel right at home. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs- Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix) whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the personalized care & constant companionship your dog will receive. I work from home, so your 🐶 will never be left alone. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times to fit your schedule. Need help with transport? I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off for a small mileage-based fee. Just sit back and I’ll handle the drive! 🚗🐾 Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“She was Awesome!!! My dog Saddie doesn't take well to many people, especially when there new. She had her sitting and giving her attention with in the first 5 minutes. She communicated with me and sent pictures. Very great experience with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Grace your appreciated.”


About: I have been a pet lover since I was a little girl. I have recently retired from a 26 year teaching career and starting Vet Tech classes in the Fall. I am also on the Board of Directors for EMAS (Emm & Mal’s Animal Sanctuary) a local non profit that fixes dogs in underserved communities. I also have 3 dogs of my own and a cat that I rescued from my school campus. My dogs are active in Canine Activities such as Dock Diving, Barn Hunt and Flyball. My girl Laken has 2 Trick Titles she earned by the time she was 1 yr old. I know it is difficult to be away from your pets and I want to show them the love and attention they deserve in your absence. I am retired and have time outside of my daily training with my dogs to provide services for you and your pets. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies. My dogs have access to my home and yard. My 19 week old puppy is crate trained and loves her crate at night. I understand some people have restrictions of keeping pets off of furniture and beds and that rule would be honored if that’s your wish. My doggies have their own places on the couch and bed when we are relaxing at home.

“Kat is amazing. She truly cares for the animals she watches. We have a 2yo golden retriever (very energetic and pushes boundaries). Kat worked so well with her! She trained Ellie while also showing her lots of love and affection. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our girl. Thank you, Kat!”

About: I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.


“Julie did an amazing job of pet and house sitting. I highly recommend her and plan to use her a few more times this summer if she's available. She is an excellent communicator and sent many photos of my pets. They always looked happy in the photos. She has her own dogs and cats and it is obvious that she loves animals! I never worried about my pets while I was away because I knew she was taking good care of them.”
