Alan and Luis took fantastic care of our dog Maggie while we were on vacation. We received multiple daily photos. The photos assured us that Maggie was having fun and therefore we enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that she was well taken care of. We will definitely use Alan and Luis again!!!

Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size

Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!

Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?

Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!

Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.

This is Andrea's 2nd time sitting for my fur baby and I trust her completely. She is very nice, very friendly, very understanding, very helpful and very patient. The 2 times she boarded my pup were last minute requests and she accepted the job and took him in with no problem. She and her family are very nice, polite people. She always replies to my texts and messages and sends photos and videos without me having to ask. My pup was well taken care of the time he spent with Andrea.

This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.

This was my first time ever leaving my Freddy with someone he didn’t already know, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took the time to meet Fred, sent me pics, and made him feel at ease right from the start. I got regular updates that completely put my mind at ease, and I could tell he was getting unlimited attention and love. I’d 100% trust her with him again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
