“Angela is very responsive to messaging and prompt. She gets along great with all of my dogs and is flexible with her schedule. I will continue to use her for all of my sitter needs.”


“My dog Sui was well cared for and happy to see Robert when he returned my apartment key promptly as scheduled. Thank you Robert and Holly for caring for Sui last minute when I was invited out of town for New Year’s Eve. I would rebook/recommend them for people with larger dogs as they were very comfortable handling my hyper German Shepherd mix dog Sui (90 lbs on a leash).”

“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”


“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”


“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”


About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.

“Madelynne was very communicative and reliable in dropping in on our two very active dogs for a long weekend. She was professional and polite. She even helped sort out an issue with our auto cat feeder while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”


“Thank you so much Stacy! Stacy did such a fabulous job checking in on my pups and keeping me up to date. She was very patient with my shy pup and kept them company during a thunderstorm. Will definitely rehire Stacy for doggy care in the future! ?”


About: Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed I am self employed and able to make my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs that my clients may have. At my current residence, I have a fenced in back yard to allow for safe off leash exploration. I also, as mentioned, provide separate eating areas, to ensure a safe environment during mealtime.


About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.

About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.
