1. Mikayla M.
“Mikayla was great with Bubba. She was on time. She sent us lots of photos with updates. Our house was just as clean when she left as when she arrived. We came home to a happy dog. It’s obvious she is good with animals. Bubba loved her.”
2. Raquel D.
“Raquel did so great with our two dogs. They are so shy when they first meet new people but she played with them and interacted with them so gently and energetic that they acted as though we were the sitters once we got home. This was the first time we’ve ever left them home alone but it was such a relief to know they were in good hands. She followed all the instructions we provided and worked out our energetic dogs every day. Thank you so much, Echo and Gilmore didn’t even miss us.”
3. Alysabeth P.
“Alysa did an awesome job taking care of our fur baby and our home while we were away for a few days. She went over and above what was asked. She was very communicative and proactively checked in everyday. I would highly recommend Alysa to all of my friends and family.”
4. Avril G.

6. Erica G.
About: I have had pets my whole life from snakes to cats. I love all pets. I will treat your babies like they are my children I think all animals are the best thing I. The world. I am opened to any schedule I am a stay at home mom. So I will be home all day and night. I am flexible. I have a gated backyard for the dogs to have play time and get their zoomies out. Also I do have crates just in case we need to crate. I also like to teach dogs tricks.
7. Silas P.
“Silas took great care of the pups and cleaned up after himself after staying in the house. He sent pictures daily and the pups loved him. I have every intention of using his services again.”
8. Don B.
“Don knows dogs like the back of his hand. I have yet to see him fail to befriend or peacefully coexist with a dog. Don has more patience than most when it comes to a rowdy dog and with his vast knowledge in dog training there's no doubt he'd be able to handle any job given to him. He knows each dog is an individual and is careful to remember the special quirks and needs of every dog he becomes familiar with. I speak as an owner of a pack of 4 dogs he has helped me with. Each dog entirely different in character but the same in the comfort and trust they place in him.”
9. Charity L.
“Charity is the most giving animal person. She really cares about the pets under her care. She treats my pets all as if they were family as her own. If you care for your pets as much as I do, then Charity can be the perfect pet caregiver for you, too!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I would want someone capable and trustworthy looking after my pup. I have experience raising dogs from puppies, potty training, basic command training, as well as senior dogs and those with health issues. I am well versed in all things canine and look forward to helping in you and your dogs journey! As an active duty Marine and work a full time job. While travel is a large part of my job, when not traveling I am generally close to home. Weekdays I am usually available in the afternoons and evenings for overnights. Weekends, I am generally free from Friday evening-Sunday afternoon. I do not have the capacity to allow clients animals into my home, yet am more than happy to travel to stay in someone’s house to care for their animals. Animals are generally more comfortable and confident in a space they are familiar with, and I am willing to travel the distance to ensure your pet is cared for as best as possible.
11. Natasha S.
About: Although this would be my first time getting into professional pet sitting, i’ve dealt with all kinds of furry babies my whole life! Including caring for and raising many animals of my own, such as ponies, horses, emus and goats. To helping care for multiple litters of baby Bluetick Coonhounds! I’ve also taken care of many of my family friends and neighbors animals while away and I absolutely loved getting to know each and every munchkin and their different personalities! I’m currently working part time! I have a lot of free time at the moment and would love to spend it with some beautiful furry friends! I have 3 dogs at the moment, two Coonhounds and 1 shitzu that require all the attention in the world! My pups mean the world to me and I would do anything for any fur baby that crosses my path!
12. Erika O.
“Erika took great care of our 2 dogs (shiba inu) and cat over the weekend. Our dogs are very picky when it comes to meeting new people but they warmed up to Erika really fast. You can tell she has worked with a lot of different kinds of dogs and their temperaments before. I will trust Erika with my pups anytime.”
13. Marla C.
“Marla was an amazing dogsitter for me, I have 3 dogs that she got along with excellently, she even sent me pictures of how the dogs were doing every day she dropped by. She does a stellar job, I'll be requesting her to watch my dogs every time I go out of town from now on.”
14. Kelley B.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pets to Kelleyfor a two-week period, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care they provided. From daily updates to the loving attention given to my pets, Kelley exceeded all my expectations. My pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Kelley for anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I my self have always loved dogs and and had my own since 2006. I’ve had a total of 5 dogs in my life. Since a teenager my family would have me dog sit for them. Dogs immediately sense my kind energy, I’ve never had a dog try to bite me. The only animal that has bit me is my alligator lizard haha I have a fenced yard with turf, pool and jacuzzi. We sit on 1.25 acres in the high desert. We have three fur pups to keep your pet company. River is a mix husky/Shepard that is 3 year old and Skye is a Weimaraner that is 3 years as well, and we recently added Cali a Doberman that is 11 weeks I do offer military discounts upon ID verification I'm currently not working at the moment, so I have tons of free time. I homeschool my little ones I have no routine, just stay at home mom that home schools and plays with pups all day. You pups will have 💯 of my attention I care for your pups the way I take care of my own children. I do redirect if needed but usually all dogs listen better than my own children haha
16. Claudia D.
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. Claudia had genuine care for my dog and treated him like he was her own. Claudia had a lot of patience and overall was amazing. Claudia was overall very understating and just an amazing person overall. I greatly recommend her if you are looking for a genuine person who will care for your animal!”

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I love them and spend as much time with them as possible. Your pets will recieve the best care & get plenty of attention. Whether it be giving them walks or feeding them, I'll do my absolute best. They'll surely receive an abundance of snuggles. I'm flexible though-out the week and I’m available on weekends. I am open to watching your pets at any time, morning or evening. I work from home so I can be available most of the time! I have one very friendly older boxer. If it's okay, I'd like to take her with me when I house sit. I'd be happy to have our friends meet. If that doesn't work out, no worries at all.
18. Amanda P.
“Amanda was prompt with her responses and kept us up to date on all the happenings while house sitting with our 2 dogs and 3 cats so that we could go away for the weekend without worrying about them. House was in good order when we returned and pups were chill and content. Much appreciated!”
19. Liz L.
“Liz has always been a great care taker of animals! She puts them first and always has a high spirit and is super happy to care of animals. I have known her for almost 4 years and she used to care for my mothers dog while she was on trips where she couldn’t bring them.”
