“Natalie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was able to accommodate our two pups, two medium sized dogs with one being high energy. Her house and yard are clean and organized. We will definitely be back!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for my pet and Laura was so kind and considerate to take my dog in. She is very sweet and you can tell she takes the time to spend with your fur babies. Sends updated pictures also and responds quickly!”
“Karina is great! Our dog Millie stayed with her for almost a month while we were on vacation. We received pictures everyday and were so relieved Millie was in good hands. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog was in great hands with Jeimy. She was really attentive to our instructions and took the time to chat with us before our boarding stay to ensure that we were comfortable and that she understood the quirks of caring for our senior dog. She sent us lots of photos everyday so we were able to see that our pup was being well cared for. We would definitely rebook with Jeimy again!”
About: I love dogs and know how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I have an 11-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who can accompany your dog if you'd like them to get interaction. Comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, can feed, play fetch, and crate your dog if required to help them exercise and stay on track with their usual schedule.
“I’m going to leave a rather lengthy review. I feel it’s important and necessary in order to accurately portray the anxiety and fear both myself and my pet had prior to our trip, why I felt like I had and then follow it up with just how wonderful the experience with Michelle turned out to for both myself and Lily (my furbaby). I was extremely anxious and hesitant in leaving my dog in someone else’s care. The quick “back story” as to why is that I’ve I NEVER left my pet in anyone else’s care (other than my son or husband) due to the circumstances in which we acquired her. Lily was abused and severally neglected, passed from owner to owner, multiple times within her 1st year as a pup. So Lily’s anxieties and fears of abandonment are on a rather high level, which in-turn only exacerbates mine. Lily is now about 6-years old and she is extremely weary of strangers and she HATES riding in the car (no matter time or distance). Our family was taking a trip to Anaheim from the Central Valley (about 5-6 hours in the car) for a five day stay. It was necessary to find someone to who could provide adequate care for Lily during the day, each day during our visit. Someone willing and able to work with our schedule, early drop-off and late pick-up but not just anyone…. Someone who would be patient, caring and nurturing to Lily while we were busy during the day. Michelle agreed to meet with us the day before in order to allow Lily to become familiar with her (as well as us with her too). We didn’t want Lily to feel as if she was being abandoned yet again. Michelle was absolutely an angel with putting me at ease prior to our “meet and greet” and upon meeting she had Lily warmed up to her so quickly. I’m a firm believer that pets, animals in general, can sense the goodness in humans and they’ll let you know rather quickly if a person doesn’t “check out”. Michelle is truly one of a kind, she is so good with anxious pets “and people too” 😁 Each day, during the stay, Michelle sent updates of Lily’s adaptiveness, videos and pictures providing both me and my husband ease of mind throughout the day. Which was something I really needed and provided me great comfort. To any future, potential “customers”, you need not look any further if you’re needing to entrust someone with your precious pet. Our pets are our family and we love them as such. You want the best for them, to feel safe and loved when they are not in our care. Michelle provides exactly that. "Thank You", is not sufficient in expressing our appreciation. Michelle you and your husband have kind, loving and caring souls... we are grateful to have met you and happy to know you. Whenever we are in the area, we will be sure to use your services again. ~Shannon, Eli & Lily 😊”
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Christa was the best dog sitter. She went above and beyond while taking care of Maverick and I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Jo is amazing. She took care of my dog like he was her own pet. She has 2 other fur babies but they get along well with Noodles, maybe because they are the same breed so that helps. Noodles need very minimum care but Jo went above and beyond to give him all the attention that he deserved. She got him chewing tooth brush, vitamins, and toppers without us asking. She is extremely good with updates and photos. Even though we traveled oversee but we get a few updates with photos with a short message, this help us knowing he's in good care. She makes sure he get his long walk and exercise with her. She has a good size back yard for him to roam around as well. I will 1000% using her as our forever dog sitter for sure. I'm very thankful for her thoughtfulness and warmth toward Noodles and our family.”
About: I’ve had my Beagle, Kane, ever since he was about 4 months old when we took him home from the shelter. I currently volunteer at the Long Beach spcaLA animal shelter at El Dorado Park. I foster adult dogs and puppies for them as well. I love dogs and want them to live their best life, because that’s when their goofy personalities shine through. Walking, cuddling, and watching dogs play gives me that natural dopamine rush! Kane and I can’t wait to meet your 4 legged fury family member. I work from home full time so your pet would have free access to our backyard and would hardly be left alone. My partner works 24-72 hour shifts, so he’s gone a lot, but can help out while i’m in meetings if he’s home. My dog, Kane, free roams throughout the house and enjoys a sun bathe every hour. If your pup needs to be crated, that’s not a problem either. I have plenty space for a crate. Kane would enjoy the company.
“Emily was absolutely amazing! 💗 This was our first time having a sitter for Kora, who’s a very shy girl and takes time to warm up to new people. Emily was incredibly patient and attentive—she took the time to build trust with Kora, which meant the world to us. She helped Kora feel comfortable in a new environment and even got her to eat more, which is something she struggles with when she’s not used to her surroundings. 😇 Emily provided thoughtful updates throughout the stay and asked important questions about Kora’s care and wellbeing, which really showed how much she genuinely cares. I honestly don’t think I can trust anyone else with Kora after this experience—I hope to have only Emily as Kora’s sitter in the future! 😭🫶🏼”
“Leslie is amazing! She was able to work with us last minute to take our pup when I was in labor. She provided us with pictures and updates and our Joy was happy. We definitely recommend her and will be working with her again.”
“Michael took such good care our 1.5 year old shepherd, Jet, over a long weekend. He checked in with photos every day and Jet had a great time playing with Michael’s dog in their backyard. Thank you Michael & Lara!!”
“Elena was awesome, my dog Lucy was in excellent hands with her I would definitely book her again!! She never failed to send me updated even when I didn’t ask, she just did an excellent job”

Michael T.
“Mike has been watching my dog for over 2 years. I think he loves animals more than people. The worst thing you can say about Mike is that he likes the San Francisco Giants. From the moment my dog, Jerry, met Mike, he loved him immediately. Jerry was a pound pit who was found in a cardboard box. He has been sceptical with most people (not aggressive), but has always found Mike to be a person of safety. His soft and nice demeanor makes people, and animals, feel at ease. When Mike watches Jerry, I do not ever question the well-being of my dog. I only question that my dog will be less enthusiastic that he has to return to his actual owner. Mike is a five star person.”
