“Ma'Lisa was incredible! Her and my baby instantly connected and I knew he was in good hands. She constantly communicated with me about how my boy was doing and would send tons of photos of videos. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Janiellee is AMAZING. I am so glad I found her for my anxious dog. She was willing and able to do the meet and greet to go over everything, taking time out of her day. She was prompt and prepared on the day of dog sitting and was able to handle the two anxious dogs with no problems. The house was well maintained and she was respectful. I cannot say enough nice things about her. We plan to use her in the future and feel comfortable with our experience in our house with our dogs.”


“As always, awesome care for my pup!!!! 2nd go around! 😎 This was also a last minute request which they made themselves available for! Thanks again!!!!”


About: Hi I’m Lila! I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 6 years of experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and many diverse livestock species. As a college student, I have a lot of free time and I love working with animals! This gives me a chance to help out other pet parents. My goal is to treat others pets like my own so they are love and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.

“Brooke was attentive and engaged with caring for our cats. She looked after our home and treated it with respect. We definitely recommend her and will use her in the future.”


About: My name is Estefany, throughout my life I have been accompanied by animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, monkeys, birds (hens and chicks specifically), ducks, parakeets, macaws, and others. However, during my most important stages I have been accompanied by faithful canine friends. Each pet that comes into our home is treated like one of the family. I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs, careful feeding, experienced with dogs from nursing new borns to senior dogs with a variety of different needs, grooming as well as potty and obedience training. I also love baking home made dog cookies for my personal dog in my spare time. I currently work part-time from home so I have extra time to care for, pamper, walk, exercise and provide the appropriate and necessary care for your furry friend. I am available to offer accommodation every day, starting at _6am_:_8pm_ I speak Spanish and English. My English is basic and i practice everyday to improve. At home we have a BIG fenced in yard that is reinforced all the way around for security and lots of fun things to do and explore in the yard. Inside we have a four bedroom house and each area is unique to accommodate every kind of dog. We dont like to use crates unless requested and we also keep all dogs separate unless requested otherwise (we have a sweet one year old poodle who has never met a dog who isn't her best friend as is willing interact with any family wanting their dogs to make new friends). We have beds for our dog friends to take a nap, although if your dog prefers his bed, no problem. Cleanliness and hygiene is very important here to keep everyone safe (I have enough bowls at home, as well as toys for dog guests), although if your dog has a preference, there is no problem. We are always willing to send updates on how its going and all the fun they are having!
