“Veronica is so wonderful. She took care of our two cats. I was so impressed by her attention to details. After each drop in, she gave detailed notes on what was done (changing water, refilling feeder, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) I was worry-free while away from my house. She very responsive on messages and very kind. Highly recommended.”

About: Your doggo will be treated like a member of the family and I will be sensitive to whatever your pup needs. I know that dogs each have their own personalities and will accommodate care to fit what makes them comfortable. We watch only one dog at a time so your dog will have our undivided attention. I am a part-time teacher that is home by 11:00am. My husband is home in the morning. The rest of the day is spent in my art studio. In the evening I usually go for a long walk. Most weekends are spent at home relaxing with family. We have a cozy condo that is dog friendly and a sunny deck for warm naps. We live close to Alameda Creek Trail which is where we take frequent walks. I will try and follow the routine that your dog is used to as close as possible. If you're doggie is staying with us overnight, I will send lots of updates and daily pictures. We don't have any other pets or small children so, the home is quiet and calm. I only sit one dog at a time so your dog will receive our undivided attention while visiting.

About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.

2. Nicole B.
“Nicole has been caring for my two dogs, Millie (a 4-year-old German Shepherd) and Kona (a 3-year-old pit mix rescue) for over four years now, and I honestly don’t know what we’d do without her. Both of my dogs are high-energy and need a lot of stimulation and attention. Most people can’t handle them together, but Nicole does it with total ease. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly has a gift with dogs. Nicole treats Millie and Kona like they’re her own, and I always know they’re in the best hands. I’ve even reached out to her last-minute and she’s come through without hesitation. Before Nicole, my husband and I couldn’t go anywhere; our dogs only trusted us. But Nicole changed everything. She’s patient, calm, and full of love. She gave us the freedom to travel again without worry. Nicole is a true dog whisperer, and we’re beyond grateful to have her in our lives!”


3. Jennifer M.
“Jennifer is the sweetest most caring person; she has the personality perfectly suited for a pet sitter. She loves all animals and will do anything to make sure she follows one’s guidelines and that your pet is well taken care of. Jenny has experience working with both cats and dogs. For me personally she has watched over my two dogs (large and small) time and time again when I had to leave for a trip. She gave daily updates and never hesitated to ask questions if she needed clarification on anything. She puts the needs of the pets first. Bonus, she’s also a photographer and would send us beautiful photos of our babies while we were away. You won’t regret having Jenny take care of your pets.”
