“The pups had a wonderful stay with Marion! She sent lots of photos and pupdates, and when I came to pick them up they were in no hurry to leave! They gave me a little hello wiggle and then took off in the yard to go play longer with their new friends lol I am so happy to have found a great sitter and will definitely be back!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Elena! From the moment she met Bruce, he warmed up to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly organized, keeping everything in order and ensuring Bruce’s routine was followed. Her professionalism and flexibility throughout Bruce’s stay made the experience smooth and worry-free. I would highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”


3. Virginia S.

“Exceptional Pet Sitter - A True Canine Companion I cannot praise Virginia’s services highly enough. From the moment I met her, it was evident that she possessed a genuine love and understanding for animals, treating my dog with the same level of affection and attention that I do. Throughout the duration of my absence, she went above and beyond to ensure that Lucca felt comfortable, safe, and loved. Her commitment to providing personalized care was truly remarkable. Not only did she adhere to Lucca’s specific dietary and exercise needs, but she also dedicated ample time to engage in activities that catered to his individual preferences and personality. What truly set her apart was her constant communication and updates. I received regular photos and messages, which alleviated any worries I had and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was in the best hands possible. It was evident from the updates that Lucca was not only well-cared for but also genuinely happy and content in her company. Upon my return, it was clear that Lucca had formed a bond with her which was incredibly heartwarming to see. It was evident that they had formed a genuine connection built on trust, kindness, and mutual respect. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Virginia highly enough. Her dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care make her a true gem in the realm of pet sitting. If you're seeking someone who will treat your furry friend with the same love and attention as you would, look no further than this remarkable individual. She truly is a canine companion in every sense of the word.”


4. Maria & Gregory M.
About: Both my husband and myself grew up with pets and they have always been apart of our family. We have a beautiful 4 year old Chocolate Labrador, Ruby. She adores playing with our two children, fetching balls, walking the trails of Garland Ranch and running on the beach. I work part time and my husband works from home. There is always someone here and we make time for daily walks and play. We can accommodate potty breaks and medication administration as needed. Our home is safe and secure, with a fully fenced back yard. There is space to run and play outside. Ruby is friendly and gentle with other dogs, especially smaller ones.

14. Kelly E.

“Kelly is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!! Our pup was so spoiled with hikes, family play time, plenty of window watching, and he was even serenaded by her sons playing violin! Her fenced in backyard was perfect for outdoor time and our active Brittany spaniel absolutely loved the daily walks. Kelly was very attentive to our conversations beforehand and even set up a little window watching area for bird watching during the day. Kelly had excellent communication while we were away. It was always a delight getting a photo update from her as a little reminder that our dog was in great care. Thank you so much Kelly for doing this job so well! We appreciate you and your family! Our dog Elvin was sad to leave your house!”

19. Catie E.


“Grant and Catie were wonderful with Isaac. He is a shy dog with people and can be nervous. He is also mean towards male dog that aren't fixed. I wouldn't have Isaac stay any where else but with Grant and Catie. They sent picture and kept us updated even when we were on a cruise and not getting the information immediately. Isaac definitely misses them which is rare for our pup.”


20. Christina & Brennan & Juliana W.

“Christina was great! Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for for the two weeks we were gone.

We would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter and would use her in the future.”
