4. Emily S.


“We visited the Santa Cruz area for an overnight with our kids and the hotel didn't allow dogs. This was our first time leaving Merry with someone new and Emily and Sean provided a very friendly and safe space for her for the night. We liked their responsiveness and genuine caring for our dog. Emily kept us updated throughout the day with texts and photos, which was helpful in letting us know she was happy in our absence. I would definitely use their services any time we visit the area!”


5. Angie L.

“Angie was very easy to book with. She was quick to respond. The drop off was easy, partially bc my dog is pretty easy. She had two small dogs one was easy for my dog to figure out the other not so much but it wasn’t a problem. Angie is clearly a dog lover. She sent lots of pictures and messages while i was in Yosemite. It was nice ti get updates when reception let my phone receive them. Angie was very flexible and accommodating when i communicated i was going to be very late picking up my dog. She stayed up late for me and i happily offered to compensate for the extra time.”

“David and his partner were absolutely wonderful and took amazing care of Rogue! They were so sweet, had great communication and went above and beyond.

17. Chuck H.
About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

“Linda was Awesome! She took very good care of my guy Rocco. She also has her Neice staying with her & her Neice loves taking the dogs for walks so my guy was simply in Heaven. I will definitely use Linda again & have all ready recommended her to 2 other friends.”


19. Jamie V.


“Jamie has been wonderful! Our dog was so happy at Jamie's house and with her dogs and her family that it was very hard to get her to leave! Jamie sent many pictures and I could see how happy our dog was, gave me such peace of mind while on our trip. She also texted me with any questions about feeding and treats. It is so much easier to enjoy our vacation when we know that our dog is safe and thoroughly enjoying her time away too! Jamie responded quickly to my texts, was extremely flexible with dates/times and also picked our dog up and dropped her off which saved me time and stress and car space! It was obvious that she truly cares and enjoys what she does. Jamie will be our sitter for all of our upcoming trips!”


20. Maria Fernanda & Jesper G.

“My recent experience with an off-grid dog sitter was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I dropped off Boo and met Jesper Maria and Bella until the joyous reunion at the end of my trip, every aspect of the experience surpassed my expectations. Nestled in the heart of nature, the off-grid setting provided an idyllic environment for Boo. Surrounded by tall trees, fresh air, and the soothing sounds of nature, Boo seemed to be in doggy paradise. The peace and tranquility of the location undoubtedly contributed to her overall well-being. Boo's off-grid cabin was a cozy retreat for Boo even though she didnt spend the night, day care only today. Equipped with heating pad, it would have provided a comfortable and secure space for her to relax. The absence of modern distractions encouraged her to fully embrace the great outdoors and engage in activities that catered to her natural instincts. What truly set this dog sitting experience apart was the level of personalized attention Boo received. Daily updates, complete with photos and videos, were sent to me, ensuring I was never far from Boos adventures. Their dog Bella and Boo got along very well and were a great pair. In this off-grid setting, Boo enjoyed a variety of activities that kept her both mentally stimulated and physically active. From scenic hikes through the wilderness to playful sessions of fetch in a spacious, fenced yard, Boo was in doggy heaven. Jesper's commitment to providing ample exercise was evident in Boos content demeanor upon my return. In conclusion, our off-grid dog sitting experience was a resounding success. The combination of a serene natural setting, personalized attention, engaging activities, and effective communication made it worthwhile. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesper and Maria to anyone seeking a unique and enriching experience for their canine companions.”
