“We had such a wonderful experience with Yareisy! She took amazing care of Loki, and he clearly had the best time during his stay. She went above and beyond by writing a personalized note and sending him home with the cutest souvenirs. We also really appreciated her keeping me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. 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.

“As a pet mom whose dog is basically her child, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paola and her family. Finding them has been a true blessing. Before booking, I had never left my dog, Reggie, with anyone other than family in the four years I've had him, so I was understandably nervous. Paola took the time to meet with us beforehand, and both her family and her dog, Rolly, quickly bonded with Reggie. I have since booked with Paola a second time and continue to be impressed by her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and communication. She regularly sends photos and updates, giving me complete peace of mind. I am confident that Reggie is loved and cared for as if he were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Paola as a pet sitter and look forward to booking with her again. I know Reggie will always have a wonderful time in her care.”

“I felt so comfortable having my dog overnight with Kelsey! It was incredible for us that she was available so close to where we were staying overnight at a hotel (I booked it by mistake... it did not allow pets!). It was a bit of a panicky search for a place for Osce to stay and Kelsey made it so easy and immediately communicated that she was available and willing to help! We were just visiting Farmington for an event. If we are ever in need of a sitter in the area again we will definitely call Kelsey first! Thanks for making the situation a very positive experience for our Portie and her family too~”

About: I have experience with animals who have special needs. It can be stressful thinking about leaving your pet. Especially if they are on a special diet or in need of medication. I know how important this is to follow. I work full time with 2 days off a week. However, I live just 10 minutes away from work. I am able to check on your pet during my lunch break. I only take one animal in at a time, unless they are from the same household. I live in a condo. We have plenty of sidewalks and grass areas to walk your fur baby. I will make sure they have their feedings, and leave out water during the day. We will watch TV together in the evening. At bedtime I allow the animal to sleep in bed with me. I want your pet to feel like this is their second home.

Rod was great with Maple. She was sad when it was time to go home because she had so much fun. He kept me updated throughout her whole stay with photos, let me know about how she was eating, and gave her plenty of time to run around and spend all of her energy.

Stephawna and her husband are amazing. They took great care of Rosie and treated her like their own. I loved the regular updates and communication.

I had an amazing experience with this dog sitter. They were truly wonderful—reliable, caring, and incredibly attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog Jacob was in such good hands. This was the first time Jacob actually wanted to go back and even seemed to miss his caregivers, which says everything about the love and attention he received. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
