Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.
“After we fired our first sitter (at the beginning of our trip) for the lack of care she gave to our 2 dogs, we messaged multiple sitters hoping to find someone quickly who could provide better care for our girls. Samantha messaged me back first, and she accommodated us with our last minute request with grace. She was EXCEPTIONALLY better than our last sitter - on time, communicative, and good with our girls. We could tell from the photos that our dogs really liked her and her daughter, and it put me at ease so we could finish the last of our trip de stressed, knowing that our girls were getting good care. We will absolutely be reaching out to Samantha again for future visits!!!”
About: Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed I am self employed and able to make my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs that my clients may have. At my current residence, I have a fenced in back yard to allow for safe off leash exploration. I also, as mentioned, provide separate eating areas, to ensure a safe environment during mealtime.
About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.

“Jason is great! When we met I could tell he gets animals. My cat is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to him almost instantly, and that never happens. Jason has a calm, gentle presence that both my cat and my small terrier responded to with total trust. While I was away Jason kept me updated with daily messages, adorable photos, and little notes about how my pets were doing. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Jason is the one. Responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring. He’s everything you want in a pet sitter. I’m so grateful we found him!”

I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic dog sitter.”
Katie & Pisces K.
“Katiek has watched my newfiepoo when I have had to go out of town. Katiek's pets are well socialized and good playmates. Katiek is attentive and loves my dog like her own. The yard is fenced, includes a doggie pool, is kept clean of poo. There is access to food and water. The dogs get plenty of exercise running around the yard and have access to toys and the air conditioning when inside. I recommend Katiek for the owners of well behaved Doodles.”
