“Lynae was amazing with our dog Eva!! She was so quick to respond when I needed to book a dog walker on short notice. She even had time to come out for a meet & greet and brought a bone with her to let Eva know she was friendly! Lynae has such good energy that Eva loved her immediately! Today she walked Eva for us and even came back for a second playtime and bathroom break that same night when I asked her since we wouldn’t be home until later than we thought. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone!!!”

About: I am a dog lover, I have my own beauty her name is Gwen. When I wanted to have someone watch her everyone said they would crate her at night. I am not a fan. I have a king size bed for our furry companions. I am home, with a doggie door. I have a nice sized fenced in yard. I am able to give meds and extra love to your pup. I can accommodate special request. I am here for you and I am flexible. I am here to answer any questions you might have, also we can do a meet in greet. To make sure your pup and you are comfortable with the arrangement. I look forward to meeting you and your love.
About: I've had a wide variety of pets over my lifetime (ie Dogs, cats,horses,hamsters,mice,rats,ferrets,rabbits,fish,chickens, ducks etc) and I love the companionship and unconditional love they give. I have worked as a Vet tech and recently started house sitting which lead to pet sitting and I've discovered it is something I truly enjoy. I've always wanted a job working with animals and this has become something I'd love to do as my full time job. I've found this is a way I can help others have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands and being well taken care of all while I get my dream job of working with animals of all shapes,sizes and species! I am honest , dependable and will care for your pets as if they were my own.
About: I've taken care of horses, chickens, cats, dogs, nothing can scare me! Ever since I was ten I've always helped with pets. Got a wild husky? I've got you covered! A spastic cat blowing through pet sitters? I'll wear thicker clothes! Need someone to help with puppies? I love them! No pet is too small, or wild for me! I'm a big girl, and I can handle whatever your pet is going to throw at me. And if you need me to stay a night? That's just fine! I'll make sure your fur babies sleep safe and sound. And that they've eaten! I'm currently on the hunt for a job, and that's been hard! So doing this would be a good chance to not only make some cash, but to get out and socialize! Me personally? The cats and dogs are all indoors, they've all grown up with each other so there's no drama! However, with all the pets in our home, I'd be hesitant to pet sit an animal there. Not because I wouldn't want to! But I'd fear for your baby's well-being! But if you got any specifics for your babies at home? I'll follow whatever you want!
About: I've had numerous dogs growing up. My mom's requirements were if we wanted a dog we had to care for it ourselves. I've taken care of neighbors animals which included giving medicine to their dogs. We have a huge backyard that any fur baby will love. We just adopted a super adorable toy poodle. He is now 9 months old and has all his vaccines. He is the baby of our family. We have two daughters who are 10 and 11 and they consider him their baby brother. My family loves animals and we will treat them as our own. 💜 I am currently a stay at home mom the only time I am busy is when I take my kids to school or pick them up. I have a large fenced yard with gates that way your baby can play safe and sound. No matter in our home or yours, your fur baby will be treated just like our own.
About: Hello, thank you for making it this far :) I’ve always had pets growing up and taken care of them by myself. Friends and family typically rely on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets when they are away or unable to do it themselves. Certified dog handler through my employer and overall just have a lot of experience making sure all animals in my care are well taken care of! My schedule is flexible! I do try and accommodate any requests for specific time/days, especially holidays. I try to accept most jobs that come my way. The safety I will provide your animals, will be the same as if they are my own. I want your pets to be in a good mood and comfortable while you are away, or they are in my care so I will cater to their needs in order to keep them content. I have a fenced in yard, one senior dog and a friendly cat who will not be an issue if a pet requires in-home boarding. I have the space to crate a dog if need be, otherwise my home is a safe and clean environment that I will try to make as comfortable as possible.
About: I have watched over many dogs before from my own family dogs to my personal friends dogs as well as my moms friends dogs. I am reliable and responsible and can take good care of any dog I just graduated from Carlsbad High School and have plenty of time on my hands. I do plan however to get a part time job here soon. However I do have a flexible schedule I’ve watched over plenty of dogs throughout my life and understand dog behavior. I have watched over friends houses in the past and have been very respectful of their homes.

Jade H.
“Jade was excellent with my 3 dogs, 1 of them takes meds regularly and jade gave it to him no problem. I knew that my dogs were safe and happy with jade the entire time, and they were happy when I came back from vacation. I would use jade as a pet sitter again in a heartbeat.”
Kathy S.
“Kathy sits for me all the time and I trust her completely. She is kind and courteous and goes way above and beyond the call of duty. I recommend her anytime.”
Cheyanne J.
“Cheyanne regularly watches my pets for me when I have to go out of town. We have cats, dogs, chickens, snakes, lizards and turtles. Things she is responsible for are feeding all pets except the snakes, turns lights on and off for my reptiles, making sure animals have water, Letting the dogs out to play and use the restroom also picking up the dog poop, Cleaning the cats litterboxes, Playing with the cats. Making sure the animals are acting as they should, if one is acting differently than normal she lets me know asap. When she comes to check on my animals she is respectful of there needs and my property.”
Andrea C.
“Andrea was great! She took the time to get to know my dog through conversation with me - much like a babysitter would with children - which I really appreciated. Even better, she has two lovely daughters who very obviously adore pets and are well equipped to care for them. I have referred all my dog mamas to Andrea and will definitely use her services in the future.”
Analisia V.
“After a previous nightmare stay at the kennel I had to find someone reliable to watch my 2 dogs. I took a chance on Analisia and she did not disappoint. She came over daily, even offered to come by more than once a day. She brought my dogs treats and made sure they were just as comfortable around her as she was around them. I wasn’t stressed while on vacation wondering if my dogs were being taken care of or getting fresh water and food. It used to be stressful finding a reliable dog sitter while I leave town until I found Analisia. She took my dogs for walks, played with them, fed them and loved them. I’ll always hire her when I go out of town!”
