“My dog Kermit stayed with Mia and absolutely loved it. He had the best time and was cared for exceptionally :) Mia sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay and that really gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Mia!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from small breeds like Pomeranians to large dogs like German Shepherds. I’m especially comfortable working with active and high-energy dogs, making sure they get enough exercise, structured walks, and engaging playtime to keep them happy and balanced. I also have experience with anxious or sensitive dogs. Two years ago, I adopted a rescue dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust while helping a dog feel safe in a new environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am available to spend time with your pet at a time that works well for both of us. I live in an apartment complex near a park, and there’s also a dog park on-site. My dog is very friendly and gets along well with others.
“Vi is a wonderful attentive caregiver for doggies. Lovely household setting makes you feel at ease. Very patient with our high anxiety German Shepherd. Vi was even able to point out an issue with our dogs paw we had not yet noticed.”
“Kaela was wonderful with Shaka and we will definitely leave him with her again. She is thoughtful and kind with the puppy and he’s excited to see her when I drop him off in the morning. 10/10 great dog sitter!”
“Dan was great! My puppy was a little nervous at first but Dan ensured me that Chance would have a great time. He came home tired and happy! Will definitely be using Dan and his services again.”
“Wendi and her husband went above and beyond for my pups! They were so nice and so communicate. I felt so comfortable with my pups being there and will definitely leave them with her again.”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Over the last 13 years, I’ve raised my Jack Russell Chihuahua mix from puppy to healthy senior. Like most millennials, I bought the house with a yard for my dog! I work from home in the tech industry, which allows me to spend all day with your pups, giving them attention throughout the day, taking them for regular walks and potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I live on a quiet block with a peaceful enclosed backyard. I would love to host your fur babies! Full time work from home, flexible schedule that allows for multiple potty breaks and walks. My dog usually walks 3 times a day (15 min each), which I could easily incorporate an additional dog to the walks. The back door is kept open weather permitting for dogs to sniff, sunbathe, and explore. Each pet’s care is unique! Whether that is walking them alone, specific dietary needs, or toys that are off limit. I work closely with you and your pet to tailor to their needs, and ensure a happy and comfortable stay. I always suggest a meet and greet prior to first stay, so we can review your expectations, learn more about how to best communicate with your pet, and ensure we are on the same page for care needs.
About: I grew up with St Bernard’s and Labs, so big dogs are no sweat! But I’ve also had the pleasure of having small dogs and cats throughout my life, making me an excellent, versatile choice. Hairstylist by day, pet sitter also by day. And night! I make my own schedule, so I can give extra care to your sweet babies! Whilst I don’t offer boarding, I do lead with a safety first mindset. I avoid leash greets, and overall focus on preemptively stopping any issues. Your and your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities!
“I booked day care with Belinda today for the first time and she was absolutely amazing with my sweet Cece. My dog gets very, very nervous when she’s not around me, so I was stressed about leaving her but Belinda kept me updated, made sure Cece was comfortable in her new environment and basically took such good care of her! I’ll definitely book with Belinda again, fully recommend!”
“Kermit loves Jeff, Keersi and their doodle Scuba! Best sitter of all time. They have taken such good care of my dog and I feel at ease knowing that he is in such good hands. If Kermit could have it his way, he would hangout with them everyday! Couldn’t be happier and truly am so thankful for them”
“Highly recommend! A wonderful person all around, will definitely be booking her again! She has great communication and a very comfortable energy, coop was excited to come back each day!”
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”
About: I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love what I do your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay attention to the little things: daily routines, favorite toys, walking pace, personality quirks, and whatever helps your dog feel secure and loved. I’m also great at communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your life easier and your dog’s day happier. Animals are part of my everyday life, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I love starting the day with a walk and checking in again later for playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and keep things as normal as possible for them. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure they get lots of walks, playtime, and fresh air. I follow all feeding and care instructions and provide a clean, safe space with plenty of attention. I love keeping pets active and engaged!
“I have 2 fur kids- and was seeking a trustworthy kind sitter, specifically for some special needs for my almost 18yr old terrier poodle mix. It truly takes a special person to understand the gentleness and extra care needed for seniors specifically- I came across Lisa‘s profile and SHE IS AMAZING!! I booked her and utilized her services immediately. I plan to have many more visits with her in the future! My cuties LOVE HER. ?? She is very attentive, sends Photos and updates etc. Trust me, as a neurotic dog mom it takes a lot to impress me- and I am BEYOND impressed!! THANK YOU LISA!??”
About: I use to have a dog grooming business around 3 years ago! They relied on me to cut nails hair and take care of their pets! I currently work a 4 hour part time job 3 times a week but someone is always home when I am away so your dog will always be cared for! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space in the front and back yard. I have a bunny and had a dog for 14 years!

Jeff and Keersi are truly the best sitters I could ever ask for. I’ve trusted them with my dog Kermit for years now, and every single time he stays with them, I know he’s in the most loving and capable hands. They treat him like part of their family, and it shows. Kermit gets so excited every time we pull up to their place, which says everything. They’re incredibly attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re on top of everything. Their dog Scuba is also the sweetest companion. Kermit absolutely adores him, and they get along so well. It’s like a little vacation for Kermit every time he stays there. I can’t recommend Jeff and Keersi enough. If you’re looking for sitters who will genuinely love and care for your dog as if it were their own, they are it.
Jessica was great with our 6 month old puppy Wilbur! Even with his frequent bathroom breaks she gave him lots of attention and love. We really appreciated the pictures updates and communication throughout. We would be lucky to have Jessica take care of Wilbur again!
We had a great experience with Dan! We felt completely comfortable leaving Freddie with him for the day, which made everything so much easier. He kept us updated and made sure Freddie was having a great time the whole day. Freddie has a lot of puppy energy, and Dan handled it so well. He especially loved playing with Dan’s dogs — he came home more tired than we’ve ever seen him (in the best way!). It’s clear Dan really cares about the dogs he watches. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend!
Chris is the best dog sitter! My dog Bennett is a very high-energy 1-year-old Dalmatian, and he can definitely be a lot, so I’m always a little nervous about leaving him with just one person and potentially exhausting them. Chris (and Dallas) handled him like pros and seemed completely unfazed. He took Bennett to the dog park multiple times to burn off energy, played with him and the other dogs, helped him work through some snappy moments, fed him dinner, and even let him relax on the couch with him. Bennett had a great day and I would absolutely trust Chris with him again! 🐾 Thank you!
Hillary was absolutely wonderful with my pup. She handled all communication promptly and gave me a heads up when it was needed. My pup was well fed and even felt comfortable enough to take a swim and cuddle! I cannot think of a better sitter for her. My pup is a handful, but Hillary really rose to the challenge. We will be back.
