About: I have had dogs most of my life. I am very caring , loving , and responsible pet lover. My dogs have lived to 19 and 18 years old I believe due to the good care I have provided for them. I would prefer senior dogs that need a safe place to stay while Mom& Dad are away but will take younger. I do have one small dog who is 16 blind and death. So I prefer to do care in my home so I do not have to leave her alone. I have a good sized yard that is fenced and a safe street cul-de-sac to walk dogs on. I am recently retired. My schedule is open 7 days a week except when I travel . I prefer to take care of pets in my home. I care for pets like they are my own. Being a pet owner I know what it is like to have anxiety about leaving my fur baby. It is easier to relax when leaving a pet with someone you can trust to give them the best care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their dogs, walk them, feed them, and give them love for decades, and I’m the go-to dog sitter for all of my friends who live nearby. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m typically available seven days a week, including most weekends, and my apartment is a preferred vacation pad for many of the four-legged friends in my neighborhood! I’m also available for dog-walking services throughout the week. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with a sizable patio deck that is perfect for canine sunbathing and air-sniffing, and dogs love to make themselves at home in my place, enjoying all furniture privileges! I always take my canine companions for frequent potty breaks as well as long walks around my quiet neighborhood.

“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”


“Great sitter and communicator. Took my pup to the dog beach to play. Sent me some cute pictures. Safe easy location for pickup and drop off. Would book again!”

“Kenzie was amazing! Sadie had such a fun time and came back super happy. Kenzie was extremely responsive & kind. Would definitely recommend!”


About: My Fiancé, Olivia, and I have grown up around dogs all our lives. Olivia has had a Golden Retriever and English Springer Spaniel, while I grew up with a Border Collie, Cockapoo, and Mutt Lab. Over the past few years we’ve been watching our friends dogs and thought that this was a great way to get more puppy love. I am work from home, so I’m able to walk, play, and attend to the dog throughout the entirety of the day. Olivia is a teacher and at school during the day, but is around in the afternoons and on weekends. We are available most weekdays and some weekends to watch pets! We live in an apartment building, but I frequently go on walks and leave the building throughout the day. We can walk to dog beach if your dog is super social, or we can stay in the neighborhood, or go to Fletcher Cove to hang on the lawn.

About: A pet sitter for all kinds of pets! I grew up on a farm and have had over 20 pets of my own throughout my life so I’m happy to watch all kinds of dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it! I have my own horse but there won’t be any trips to the barn while I am pet sitting. I work remotely so I am flexible to watch or walk your pet throughout the week. I am very active so I’m happy to walk any dogs that might need to get out! My place doesn’t allow for pets so I will most likely be picking up dogs for walks or house sitting unless the dog is very small and quiet. I don’t have any pets at home (just a horse at a boarding facility) so my attention will be fully on your animal. My place is very small and doesn’t allow for pets so I will be mostly house sitting (rare exceptions will be considered for a small quiet dogs).

“Awesome communication and very kind to our puppy. Thanks Jaime!”


About: Hello!!! I’m Jacky and I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life and that’s why I became Veterinary Technician. I worked in the Veterinary field for over 14 years. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, as well as administering meds ( oral, transdermal or injections). I think it’s very important to communicate with the owners, so please expect updates such as videos or photos of your baby while we are out and about on our adventure. I am also a very active person and love going on walks, runs or hikes with your 🐶 pup (if it’s something you think they would enjoy). I look forward to meeting you and your pet ❤️ My schedule is pretty open at the moment. I am only working a couple days a week which leaves me with plenty of time to play with your pet. Please contact me for more info I have a fenced patio that’s great for sun bathing. Otherwise, when walked, your pet will always be on a leash for safety reasons. For boarding, if a crate is provided I can crate your pet at night if thats what you recommend. Otherwise, I’m usually home and will be out enjoying the beautiful California climate.

Brice M.
“I've known Brice for nearly 20 years and can attest to not only how kind, gentle, patient and loving he is with animals but to the incredible person he is. Through the last 20 years, Brice and I have 'raised' at least 4 fur babies together (between the 2 of us). Brice is thoughtful, diligent and conscientious when it comes to the care of animals. My dog, Dottie, who considers most people who walk through our front door as intruders ADORES Brice. He's been her main caretaker whenever we travel out of town and I can always rest assured that she's in the same, actually better, care than when we're with her. I feel the same reassurance I would leaving my children with their grandparents (tens of photo updates included!). 10/10 and all the stars to this guy.”
