5. Karen V.
“We have always had a difficult time choosing someone to look after our pets when we are out of town, but with Sue we found exactly what we wanted. She is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. All the attributes you would want in someone to trust with your fur babies. Our dogs simply love her to death, and we would highly recommend her!”

“Hannah has watched and walked our dog Ruby many times and my husband and I always know we can trust her completely with Ruby’s care. Hannah is an experienced dog owner who is comfortable giving medication, working with breeds large and small, including young puppies, and following any specific instructions you leave behind. I would highly recommend Hannah to care for any pet as I know she will treat them like her own.”

10. Elisabeth M.
“I wholeheartedly believe Ellie provides safe and loving care while respecting you, your pet, and your property! Elisabeth has cared for my dog since he was a puppy, and she has shown nothing but patience, warmth, and attention - even when my little guy has no patience of his own. She really understands the importance of feeling trust and peace of mind when leaving your animals with another person, and she is not afraid to go above and beyond with my pet’s special needs. Her reliability and communication make it an easy choice for me to leave my best friend in her care every time I’m out of town!”


11. Paul K.


“Paul is fantastic! It’s apparent how passionate he is about animal care and well being. He sent lots of pics, is very communicative, and came through on a last minute booking. My cats seemed happy and stress free on my return and everything was in good order 🫡”


12. Ani C.
About: I’ve had the privilege of taking care of and walking many of my friends and neighbors dogs over the years! Though I’ve sadly never been able to own a pup myself because of my brothers extreme allergies, this has only made me further seek out opportunities to spend with my friends dogs! From walks to hikes and long runs (currently training for a triathlon) I’ve enjoyed lots of time outdoors and around town with my friends dogs. I’ve additional had the privilege of being the person they call when they need someone to watch their dogs for the day! I’m currently on a break before starting my new job this summer, so my daily schedule is very flexible. I often run in the mornings and try to walk in the afternoons, making those perfect dog walking times. I am unavailable to take care of pets in my home but am happy to do so in yours. I will make sure all their needs are met, they are fed in time, walked if needed, always get their potty breaks and most importantly give them lots of love (only if the pup is open to that)! I’ve become very good at reading and understanding dogs need through experience watching my friends dogs and will be sure to follow all instructions left by the owner.


13. Natalie G.
About: I've taken care of my dog Brody since I was 10, and my cat Zeke since I was 13. My family just got a golden retriever puppy so my puppy skills are definitely refreshed!! My schedule is very flexible as I am in college right now and I love walking my dogs, so I look forward to meeting doggies! My puppy is currently being crate trained at night, during the day our dogs are outdoors in our fenced backyard and our cat remains inside.


14. Mark P.

“Mark P was fantastic with our dogs. We were staying at Pismo Coast RV resort and after meeting Mark the day before, we felt comfortable about leaving our dogs in his care. A fellow camper told us the next day that they saw Mark walking the dogs. We will definitely use him again.”


15. Alyssa P.

“Alyssa is such a warm, caring and communicative kitty cat sitter! Iris adores her and I was so comfortable leaving home knowing that Alyssa would be giving Iris love and attention in addition to taking such good care of her!”


16. Shea S.
“Our daughter Shea, has been a caretaker for all of our family animals since she was very young. Ranging from Labradors, Koi fish, to rabbits, she has always been responsible for feeding, grooming and cleaning up after our pets. Shea has always had a special place in her heart for animals, whether they be wild or domesticated. Shea loves to make sure her dogs always had plenty of exercise, whether it would be from long walks or throwing the ball for them. For all these reasons, we feel Shea would be a great care taker for any of your pets.”


17. Jazzlynne A.

“Jazzlynne is great! She took care of my cat for a week while I was on vacation and I’m so glad I found her. I will definitely be contacting her for future cat sitting. 10/10 recommend!!😊”


18. Peyton D.
About: I’ve had a dog for almost my whole life, we love going on walks, hikes, runs, and any outdoor adventures. I miss seeing him everyday in college and would love to have a friend to take care of and do my outdoor adventures with! I have a lot of free time with this being my last quarter at Cal Poly and only taking 1 class. I’m going to be active outside a lot in my free time and/or need other things to keep me busy! I have a nice grassy backyard that is fully fenced in. I also live in a neighborhood that is not busy and walkable to downtown!


19. Cassidy A.

“Cassidy did a wonderful job communicating with me about her visits and spending time with Simba, even when he was anxious to have her around. She also went above and beyond in cleaning out his litterbox and making sure his bowls, toys, and food were maintained. Really grateful to not have to stress about the care of my sweet cat while travelling.”


20. Grace C.

“Grace provided excellent care for Ace. Grace communicated well and provided daily updates on visits with Ace. She went out of her way to offer additional services to make sure Ace was happy. We will definitely ask Grace for help in the future.”
