“Cheyenne watched our 11 month old mini golden doodle, Teddy, for 10 days. We were really nervous about leaving him because we had never left him before. Also, he can be a little rascal at times. Cheyenne handled him like a pro! She followed our directions to the letter! Not only did she take care of our puppy, but also took excellent care of our house! She watered our plants and went above and beyond and raked our leaves. I received many photos and videos of Teddy during our trip, which put me at ease. I felt confident that he was in the very best of hands. Thank you, Cheyenne for being an amazing sitter for our puppy! I would recommend Cheyenne in a heartbeat! She is friendly, kind, responsible, and totally trustworthy!”

“Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on”

“My first time using a pet sitter and service. Raina responded to my inquiry within minutes and set up a meet and greet for the following day. Raina accepted the in house sitting for 5 days. Raina sent at least two photos every day showing Ralphie being himself which put me at ease. When I returned, the house was clean and taken care of. I'd definitely rebook with Raina again.”

“Alyssa was a great pet sitter. She came by for a meet and greet with the pups beforehand, was responsive, and timely. And best of all, the dogs loved her and were well taken care of.”

About: With eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs—starting at just ten years old—I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and individual needs.

“Brandie you are amazing! Mishka and Nuggy had a great time with you. The home looks better than how we left it. Loved the daily videos/picture check ins. Hope to book you again in the future!”

“Johnna did a fantastic job with my 2 dogs, kept me updated and sending proof of life photos…which I appreciated!! She showed such respect for my home as well. Would highly recommend her and for sure will be using her again in the future. 🙏”

“Shannon was AMAZING! My girls are very picky about who they snuggle up with and they loved Shannon. Their grandma popped in to visit and even she pointed out how they were not as amused with grandma this visit and wanted to follow Shannon around instead. I can’t thank Shannon enough for taking such good care of our babies and our house.”

“I am so impressed with the wonderful care given to my elderly doggie and 2 kitties. Jourdan communicated regularly and sent pictures. I was able to relax and have a great vacation! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs for 15+ years and have raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood. I’m experienced with obedience, socialization, and providing calm, dependable care I’m currently home full time. I also have a dog room inside the house. The animals have access to the yard 24/7. Whatever special treatment your animal needs it will get. I will treat your dog as my own. Your dog will be extremely spoiled and have lots of extra attention. River days, park days, all the fun (if approved) !

About: I’ve never not had pets. My family has almost always had dogs, and I took care of a hamster and cat when I was younger. Today, my wife and I have two poodle-mix dogs (Togepi and Raisin) and two guinea pigs (Betty and Gertie). We got Togepi when he was just a couple months old. We got Raisin from a shelter in 2024. I’ve helped my wife with her Rover sitting since since 2023—she’s a 5-star sitter. I just graduated from law school and am studying for the California bar exam this summer. I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My wife plans to do Mondays-Thursdays if you need someone earlier in the week. I’m happy to care for your pet(s) however you’d like. If you want me to stay in your home while you’re away, I can do so on most Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

Bailey's first weekend with a pet sitter. First, Whitney is an excellent communicator and very responsive. She is thorough with her notes and came to our meeting prepared. The pictures, videos, and daily updates were greatly appreciated. And best of all, we came home to a very happy and content puppy. Baily is a 1.5-year-old mini Aussie with lots of energy.

Rebecca was very quick to respond if I had any questions. Our dog is almost 15 and needs help and Rebecca did a wonderful job. She sent pics and was very flexible. She left our place just as she found it and cut some beautiful flowers from our garden and left bouquet.

Johnna was an absolute godsend. She took care of our senior dog in the most loving positive way while we attended a wedding. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We would highly recommend Johnna and wished we lived in the area so we could have her watch our dog again. So grateful. Thank you.

Jourdan was wonderful to work with and our dogs enjoyed their time with her. She followed the care instructions we left, communication was good, our house was tidy when we returned home and our dogs enjoyed 1:1 time with her. We recommend her for dog sitting/house sitting and look forward to working with her again.

Amazing! Shy is a wonderful sitter. Shy followed directions and my fur baby loved Shy. Shy has a natural gift with animals. Shy also took great care of my place. I also had daily communication which was great since I requested them and was sent photos of my baby everyday. Will definitely rebook again!

Ryan is wonderful with our pets! He is able to handle our 92 pound hyper 10 month old lab and our 15 year old anxious chihuahua. Ryan communicated the perfect amount with us during our trip and left our house in the same condition as when we left. We already have him booked for our next vacation! Thanks Ryan!

Mikayla was AMAZING with watching our senior bulldog on relatively short notice for over a week. She was in constant communication with us and even picked up dog food for us when we ran out while we were away. My dog was comfortable with her and I was too. I would book her again in a heartbeat 🙂

Heather is a wonderful pet sitter! We were nervous to leave our dog and bunny for a two week trip as we had never left them for so long before. Heather took great care of both of them and made us feel at ease enough to actually enjoy our vacation! She even came through for us (and the pets) when we encountered numerous flight delays and cancellations on the way home. She was able to extend her visit and made sure they were looked after until we finally made it home. We’re so thankful for her help and will be booking with her again!

Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on

Drew was phenomenal with Meeko and Belle. I was traveling abroad for two weeks, and it was such a blessing to find someone who can genuinely care for blind pets—especially an elderly one with a younger, mischievous sibling. Drew was incredibly responsive, sent regular updates, and took amazing care of both the pets and the house. Belle is blind, senior, and sometimes experiences separation anxiety, but Drew was patient, gentle, and attentive with her. Meeko is a curious troublemaker, and Drew kept him stimulated while keeping the “trouble” under control. I’d 100% recommend Drew to anyone. I’ve already told my coworkers and friends—he’s truly exceptional.
