“Olivia and Sebastien are fantastic and welcoming people and stellar dog sitters! We are thrilled to have found Fanta's new home-away-from-home. Our nervous hound was more than comfortable spending time with Olivia, Sebastien, and their pup, Zuko - a kindred spirit. There were many walks and treats and snuggles and updates for us with pictures and details of the day's adventures. We are so pleased to have met such an extra kind couple and their pup! And so relieved that Fanta will be so well cared for when we travel in the future.❤️”

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!”

About: I'm a dog owner myself. I have had a senior dog that needed medication. I've had foster dogs of all shapes and types. I'd say I treat my dogs almost like humans. They get tons of love, attention, words of affirmation, and TLC. I turn music on for them if I need to leave. My pet friends are my biggest source of joy and I do all that I can to adhere to any schedules, special requests, and whatever it takes to keep my doggie friends happy and comfortable. I work from home full time. The busiest time in my work day is from 7-10am for remote meetings. I have a lot of flexibility for walks, dog park outings, and cuddle time. I am on meetings so excessive barkers could be a little tough. I have a large fenced yard where doggies love to sniff and roam and explore. I am generally outside observing. I have a large grassy yard that is fully fenced. I always join my doggie friends outside to make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. My goal is to make sure my pet friend has frequent breaks outside, walks as needed, and a comfortable and quiet home to nap and do their thing. There are no small children here. I have 2 dogs of my one - a 10 year old male, 25lb mixed poodle terrier and a 2 year old male, 11lb mixed poodle mutt. They both like easy going dogs. Both are neutered.

“lan kept great communication. my dog bernie had a blast. came home super tired from his stay which is always a good sign. glad he got to hang out with other dogs.”

“Cherie is so so kind and patient. She has a calm and loving atmosphere for humans along with dogs! I was so happy to leave my pup in her very capable hands. I have an anxious guy, and she helped him be comfortable and cozy. The pictures and updates were amazing and really helped my anxiety about leaving him as well! I would highly recommend Cherie. Thank you for taking such good care of Biscuit!”

“5 stars for Jane! She took such good care of my little golden retriever. This was my first time leaving my puppy because he is five months old, but feel super confident about him staying with Jane. She updated me everyday with photos and walking activities. I will definitely be using Jane again for waffle to stay.”
