“I can’t recommend Kena enough! My dog Bella stayed with her and it was the best choice we could have made! Kena made sure Bella was well fed and taken care of. She treated the dog like one of her own, and I am very thankful! It could not have been a better experience with Kena! Thank you!”


“My dog, Billie Girl, absolutely loved staying with Jen. Her beautiful backyard provided the perfect space for play and exploration. Jen also sent frequent photo updates, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving Billie in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.”


“Tylyn was wonderful with my pup! She sent me lots of pics and updates on her walks and throughout the day. She administered my dog’s meds when needed and let me know how things were going. I loved knowing that my baby was safe and comfortable in good hands with plenty of outdoor space. Highly recommend Tylyn and will gladly rebook.”


“Taralene was very relaxed about having my big German Shepherd at her apartment with her kids. She was honest about how he was doing (anxious the first day) and sent pictures.”


About: I have taken care of dogs recently, I always make sure to give them the love and attention that they deserve if not more. I understand the feeling of leaving your dog at home while you are away and I want to continue to be the person people feel safe and secure to leave their dog at home or with me. I have a dog that loves too play as well so making friends is never a worry for him. I currently work part time, but after 1pm I am available. I do have some errands I do but doesn’t usually last for more than an hour. I am a student as well and attend online classes on Mondays but it won’t a disturbance. I am available on weekends for boarding or pet sitting at someone’s house as well. I live in a small apartment but have three room in which one isn’t being used. There is a big grassy area behind my apartment that I usually take my dog to and we do lots of long walks. There is plenty of of space for your fur baby and even though I have cats they like to be in one room so they wouldn’t be a bothers

“100% Awesome!! We have two male Shelties: a mellow senior 13 yo Yogi and the total opposite high-energy 2 yo Jonah. We usually take our boys with us on trips, but this was our 15th wedding anniversary and we planned on some long days in the Redwoods, hiking and beach. Finding the right boarding situation was a challenge for us because of our senior dog's limitations and the younger ones energy! Well, both came home from 6 days at Greg & Jamie's home as super relaxed and happy boys! We received daily updates and pics, and they were very responsive to my texts. We felt like both pups were treated as family and cared for by their individual needs. We were able to have an unforgettable anniversary vacation because we knew our boys were with the right wonderful people!”



“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”


“Thank you for making Luna feel so welcome! You take great care of her and gives us peace of mind!”


“Many thanks to Jessica for making my trip to Lassen NP stress free. She has a well kept house with a nice backyard, including a kiddie pool for the dogs! Her dog, Fisher, is super friendly and was instant friends with my dog, Kobe. No complaints, I'd recommend her to anyone and would leave my dog with her again if I am ever back in Chico.”


“Jennifer was great, she send me daily pictures and what Millie was up to. She let her sleep in the bed like in my home. Jennifer cares for the need and personality of each of the dogs . I will feel very good to leave my dog in her home again and i think Millie will be happy about it . Thank you !”


“Skylar was excellent with our big dog. He came home happy and tired out from getting to run on his large property. Definitely recommend! He is very polite and great with dogs!”


“Amanda did such an amazing job! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time! She made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible! He lived like a king with Amanda and I could see how happy he was in each picture! Thank you so much Amanda for taking such good care of our pup!”



“Deena took excellent care of our two German shepherds while we were in Hawaii! We got updates during our trip and we could tell the dogs were having a great time and loved Deena. We highly recommend trusting in her to take care of your dogs!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years — from neighborhood walks to hands-on work with high-energy and even protection-trained dogs. I’m calm, confident, and experienced with pups of all temperaments. Whether your dog needs structure, play, or just a peaceful walk around the block, I meet them where they’re at and treat them like family. Safe, happy, and tired — that’s my goal every time I always take my Rita girl to run every morning, I am available to high energy dogs and special needs dogs. Let’s get to walking! The dogs will have free roam of the apartment, and if ever outside will be on leash 100% of the time unless otherwise noted by you

“I’ve booked Danielle multiple times and she’s always so careful with my boys, who can be reactive to meeting other dogs. She pays attention to their allergies and behaviors, and always sends the best videos and photos of the boys playing with the other dogs.”


About: I’ve been the go-to animal lover in my neighborhood since I was a teen, caring for everything from puppies to seniors. Whether it’s teaching new tricks, giving belly rubs, or making sure everyone gets their favorite treats, I’m all about making pets feel loved and special. I’m always up for a game of fetch, a cozy cuddle, or a stroll around the block. I treat every furry friend like my own, and I’m known for my happy energy, gentle care, and ability to make tails wag and whiskers twitch with joy! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work just 15 hours a week and am an online student, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend. I have a friendly dog of my own, and we enjoy at least one walk every day, plus lots of playtime in our spacious yard! I have two cats as well who are very friendly. Your pet will feel right at home in our fun, active, and loving environment. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! At my home, your furry friend will enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and fetch, plus we’re just a short walk from a beautiful park for extra adventures. My own playful dog and two sweet cats love making new friends, and there’s always plenty of cozy spots for naps or quiet time. If your dog prefers their own space, I have a comfy crate area ready for them. When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel secure and comfortable. I provide lots of playtime, walks, cuddles, and of course, plenty of love and attention, just like I would for my own pets! Whether at my place or yours, I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and right at home.


“Lynette was super responsive and very responsible with our dog Odin. She treated Odin like one of her own, and was very helpful when it turned out he wasn't feeling well for part of the visit. Lynette takes the dogs out on walks and has a great setup for the dogs, and sent lots of updates and photos. Absolutely one of the best sitters we've been lucky to work with.”


“Our boys had a great time with Mitchell and we were updated regularly with pictures and reports on how they were doing. So glad we booked with her, will definitely book with her again!”

Lesly P.
“Lesly is a caring and adaptable pet sitter, I've been able to depend on her to watch my two cats and she has shown that she's communicative and responsible. She was able to get in and out of my apartment complex to pet sit my cats with ease. They eat dry and wet food so it was simple to explain for breakfast and dinner. The cats were familiar with her too so the cats were happy to see a friend stop in and I recieved some cute pictures for a check in. Simple pet check in but an efficient one to say that:)”

Haley J.
“Haley for as long as I have known her has always been a dedicated pet/animal lover. All the way back to when she was a little kid she has always taken care of animals whether it was her pet or bottle feeding baby kittens found abandoned with out a mama cat and helping them finding a forever home. In high school she was part of the agriculture program known as the Future Farmers of America (FFA) where she raised 5 animals from pigs, goats and a steer for school projects. Her commitment to animals was recognized by her teachers and classmates and was nominated and elected as a class officer. Now in College she is majoring in Agriculture education with the hopes of one day possibly becoming a High School Agriculture teacher and once again being part of the Future Farmers of America or becoming an Agriculture college professor. Either way she plans on spending her life being part of a community that is dedicate towards helping and caring for animals/pets. I would recommend her to any organization that is involved animals/pets”
