“We couldn't be happier with Renee! Sandy, my dog, clearly had an incredible time during her stay. Getting those adorable photo updates of Sandy enjoying herself with Renee and her family truly made our day. I will definitely be rebooking!”



“Jose was fantastic with Mily, he sent us videos pictures of Mily through out the day we didn't even have to ask. Looks like Mily had a great time. We would definitely recommend we will be coming back and using you as Milly dog sitter. Thank you so much”


“Julie and her family looked after my dog Frodo probably 15 or 20 times over the course of two years while I was living in Bakersfield. The family were always accommodating, and always willing to treat my dog as one of their own. Their property is a good size with lots of space to run around and lots of things to sniff. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. ”


“Barbara was great with my dog! He stayed with her for 4 days! She’s reliable, trustworthy, passionate, caring, and most of all, goes above and beyond. Her house is very clean, tidy and SAFE for dogs. My dog was so happy with her and I felt extremely relieved. She’s very attentive to his needs and truly cared about him. She is a great dog sitter and I would definitely send my little doggie to her again and recommend her boarding services! I loved how she would keep me updated by always sending me photos and videos! Thank you Barbara for caring and thank you for being professional!”


“Excellent dog sitter! Already booked my next appointment with Dominie. She sent frequent updates including pictures of my dogs. My dogs were very happy in her care and loved getting frequent walks.”


“This is our second time booking with Maribel. She gave us daily updates and sent us tons of photos. Our dogs love her and she took great care of them. I think I found my permanent dog sitter. 11/10 would recommend!”


“Juliann was great with our dog Phyllo. It was my first time being away from my puppy and I was a bit worried, but felt much better when she sent me a lot of picture updates. If I'm ever in town again I'll definitely take Phyllo back to her.”



“So happy to have a safe place for my older yorkie. She came home so much happier than with previous boarding experiences. I could tell from the pictures that she was being loved and cared for. Thanks Anna!”


“Lupe is AMAZING! My Elsa always loves to hang out with her and her pups. Lupe always keeps me updated with photos and videos - her communication is great. Thank you to Lupe for taking the best care of my Elsa! 🐶💕”


About: I’ve raised dogs throughout my life. I love ensuring dogs are happy and cared for since they are so vital and important to us owners! I’m currently on summer break so I have my weeks free to care for your pets and ensure that they are happy and healthy puppies! I occasionally go out some mornings for an hour or so. I also take walks around the neighborhood and would be perfectly happy to let your pups tag along! I have a fenced yard, and a small corral where I am able to give dogs a place to stretch their legs. I also allow dogs inside if they are more comfortable being around me. I will ensure that they are able to go outside to use the restroom at any time they feel the need to.

About: I’ve adopted and cared for many dogs ever since I was a kid. I currently have 3 small dogs and they bring me so much joy! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for and to feel safe and secure knowing their needs will be met, even when we’re away. I am happy to help care for your pups and provide them with the love & attention they need when you are not there - I will treat them like they’re my own! I currently work from home which provides me with the flexibility and freedom to care for your pets when you need someone to fill in. I will be sure to respect your pet and your home when making drop-in visits. Your pet will be fed and cared for with love.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I have also graduated from Veterinarian School and have the knowledge of caring and accepting any type of dog. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available Monday through Sunday. I have a fenced yard and have a fur baby of my own to keep yours company. I can easily crate your pup if needed.

“Wynona (rene') was very sweet with our pups and gave them lots of attention. However, I am taking off one star for misrepresentation of profile information. She lives in an apartment, not a house and the fenced in yard is about a 5x8 area for the dogs to walk outside. Also, they do smoke in the home. I would recommend her for people with small dogs and that dont mind indoor smoking.”


“Maria was amazing with my energetic 9 month old puppy! She was very responsive and provided updates throughout the stay. We did a meet and greet before the stay so my puppy (who gets anxiety) would be familiar with Maria and the surroundings. It was also great that my puppy had her dog Nala to play with, who was very friendly and playful. I would highly recommend Maria and look forward to using her in the future!”

“Cindy is incredibly loving towards animals and is a very responsible person. My wife and I joke that she is "the animal whisperer" because there has never been a pet that hasn't warmed up to her. Even our cat, who is really shy with strangers and will normally hide from them for days, warmed up to Cindy in a matter of hours!”
