Our family typically has at least one of us at home at all times to keep your dog company. We care for pets as if they are just like a guest in our home. We also like taking them out of the house for walks and car rides. We do have a doggie door for them to go out to our enclosed/fenced patio area.

We have a fenced yard enough for two friendly dogs to keep your family member company with us. We can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I am a warm hearted, nature-loving person with a love for plants and animals. I've worked a number of seasons on organic farms, have studied and practiced permaculture, and have been a petsitter for many years (references available). Will absolutely love up your fur-baby like family. I have experience with various breeds including Border Collies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Goldens, Labs, Terriers, and love caring for them all. I also have experience milking goats, and working with chickens. I have some puppy training experience and am happy to continue with the training routines you are currently working on. I also love caring for older dogs and am comfortable administering medicine. I enjoy being active, going for walks, throwing the ball, and supporting their needs. I'm happy to send pictures of the pets and communicate with you regularly while you are away. Please feel free to talk to me about any questions or concerns you may have. Look forward to hearing from you and talking more! I have a flexible schedule so have time go check in on the pets regularly. I would be conscientious about caring for your home and leave it clean and ready for your return. Happy to pamper up your beloved pets, keep houseplants and gardens tended, and keep a warm presence in the home. Best, Amy I tend to be out of the house for a few hours on MWF, though have a generally flexible schedule and can support your pet's needs. I keep the rules you have set in place with your animals around what they are and aren’t allowed to do, and care for your house like my own.

“Lauren was great and so flexible with some schedule changes we had. We appreciated the picture updates and all the love our Luna got from her and her kids!”

“I needed a last minute doggy day care for my 2 pups while we were visiting from out of town. I can't thank Jo enough!! The girls had a great time and would love to use her again if I'm back in that area!”

About: Animal lover here. I’ve had pets all my life and have taken care of pets for the day, and for people on extended vacation. Animals are not left at my home alone. I can take trips to the beach or park as long as the owners are comfortable with that. Pets sleep inside the home with me. I can pick up and/or drop off for a small extra fee. I’m currently a stay at home mom with two teen boys. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need while you are away. Focus will be on keeping your pets happy. I will be playing with your pets inside and outside to keep them happy and busy while you are away. I will modify to any needs your dog may have. Again, I never leave dogs I am watching home alone.

“Cannot say enough great things about Anna and her brother!! They were So Sweet to my lil BearBear, perfectly handled a slightly urgent situation that came up, And they gave him my new favorite nickname "carebear"!! Adorable!! I honestly think my dog missed them when we got back home haha!!”

“Niccola did a great job with our pups. They were happy and content when we picked them up. She is upbeat and easy to work with. We’d definitely book with her again.”

Mary D.

“Matt was really nice and I felt like my dog was in good hands. He was great with communication and response times and I would definitely choose him again. My dog left happy and my family had a chance to do activities that we couldn't normally do while traveling with a dog.”

Karen M.

“Thomas and his family provided a calm and positive environment for Rocky, who was shy for awhile before he made friends with everyone. The family pugs are so cute with their individual personalities, and the other houseguests were very friendly. We loved the photos and videos showing our happy boy. We'll definitely want to use Thomas when we're back in the area!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and understand their behaviors, needs, and signals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. My largest dog is a Great Pyrenees weighing in over 150 lbs. I work remotely from my laptop and my family is home to take care of my pets while I take care of yours! Available most days of the week with short notice. Routine is the best training for pets. My pets have a set schedule of walks, feeding, and play times. They get a ton of human interaction from me and my family. I never punish my pets. I reinforce positive behaviors with affection and lots of exercise. I will treat your pets with love and respect.

“Caitlin was so awesome! Could tell that our pups had a great time with her and scheduling was a breeze! Would definitely recommend and also would work with again!”

Kate G.

“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”

“5 star sitter. Sheridan welcomed our 2 dogs into her home with such kindness and made us and them feel right at home. I would highly recommend for your dog sitter needs. Thank you!”

“Incredible service and care for our dog. Stephanie is amazing with dogs, and spent her time with Otis training him and having our dogs run around outside to get his energy out. She was so kind and responsive, we’ll continue to use her whenever we can.”

About: I have in depth experience working with a variety of small animals and behaviors. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant on track to obtain my Registered Veterinary Technicians License. I am comfortable with all breeds and any quirks that come with your furry friend. I am very active in my lifestyle and love to adventure outdoors, as I’m sure your pet does too! I am willing to provide transport for your pet if requested/ necessary. I am looking forward to meeting your furry family member(s)! I work full time Monday-Friday but I am available for brief weekly care! The weekends are flexible. I am willing to work with your scheduling needs as well. I can provide special accommodations to disabled or elderly pets. I am comfortable providing all types of medication administration. I am extremely capable to communicate and provide emergency care to your pet in a time of need.

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.

“Great stay for Sofia again”
