“Louisa and her partner came to stay for a long weekend to mind our dog Marmie and kitten Minxie. They were so wonderful and we would happily have them back anytime! We got lovely photos of all the adventures that they took marmie on and she was so tired when we got back!”



“Once again, Shayna has done a fabulous job staying with my high-spirited Jack Russell! It’s so wonderful to come back from a trip to see a relaxed dog. I highly recommend Shayna!!”


“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”



“Melanie was absolutely the best dog and house sitter. My Bailey loved her, and Melanie took such good care of her. This will make my future trips anxiety free. My house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. She is definitely the very best!!”


“Brianna did a great job house sitting and watching our two dogs while we were away. She stayed in communication, sent pictures, and helped them feel happy and secure when their parents were away. So very much appreciated!!!!”

“We ended up needing to book with Kasidy at the last minute, but found her to be very responsive and a great housesitter for our two dogs! We had been nervous about leaving our dogs while being gone for five days as they are anxious and wary of strangers. But they warmed up to Kasidy quickly due to her calm, relaxed presence and (and ball throwing :). She paid close attention to the instructions left for our dog with Addison’s disease, and texted me with updates on her status. Kasidy is a responsible and reliable pet sitter and we (and our dogs) hope to use her again in the future!”


“Elizabeth was so kind and thoughtful! She cared for my dog and cats AND watched over my home. ❤️ I came home to flowers at my front door! Elizabeth took my dog on daily walks and sent me pictures of her. She even brought my delivered groceries in for me (which I totally forgot about - thank you Elizabeth)! ❤️🙏 she met with me before the booking to meet my dog and see the home and where things were. I’m so blessed and grateful that she was available and that we met!”


About: Hello! I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses & as an only child my pets were my best friends. As I’ve grown into an adult, the friends I’ve made usually come with bonus friends (their pets). I’ve had friends/roommates that are pet professionals (groomers/vet techs) & I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge along the way. I’ve been lucky enough to be welcomed into my furry friends homes to care for them as their people are away, feeling comfortable with their sitter. I like to do a meet and greet to get to know your loved one and follow any instructions to the letter. Young to advanced age, trust they will be well cared for as if they were my own. My schedule is currently open, not including any pending appointments. I’m very flexible with reliable transportation and can meet your needs morning afternoon or night. I prefer to care for your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. They have my full attention when you are away. My husband is loved by every animal he meets and is the best teammate.

“This was the longest trip we have taken, and been away from our dogs. Shelly did a great job, and when she had other things she needed to do, she had her daughter help out, which I believe worked out great! The dogs were very happy to see us return, but I feel they were taken very well care of, and we would definitely ask Shelley to come back. Thank you, Shelly!”


About: I've had a love and passion for animals since I was a child. I adopted my first pet in 2014. A beautiful female Queensland Heeler and American Pitbull mix named Sadie. She has been my service animal for over 5 years. I began my pet care career as a pet shelter assistant. A few years later, I became a Grooming Salon Assistant and have been grooming every since. I have knowledge of most breeds and am comfortable working with any sized dog, any temperament. I have also worked as a Kennel Assistant in a Veterinary office. I learned the in and outs of boarding, administering medications, and making sure all pets get adequate care. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I'm currently working part time but need extra money as I don't have enough hours. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work out overnight stays. While caring for pets, I greet them and make sure they're comfortable with me. I like to offer treats and take the time to have them trust in me. I ensure all food bowls and water bowls are filled. I take them out for potty and walks every 2-4 hours. I ensure they get adequate play time, whether inside or outside. Give them lots of love and attention ☺️ All while abiding by your care rules, ie training, medications, etc.

“Josh is an excellent dog sitter and great house guest. This is our second time booking with him and he’s very clean, responsive, and did a wonderful job taking care of our dog during a health emergency while we were away. Highly, highly recommend Josh!”

Whether they need a quick walk, a cozy place to stay, or some extra care during the day, I’ve got you covered! 1. Dog Walking Services Your pup will enjoy safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll, or a little playtime at the park, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. 2. Boarding in My Home When you’re away, your pet can enjoy a home away from home! They’ll stay in my safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space, where they’ll get all the love, care, and attention they deserve. 3. Boarding in Your Home If your pet is most comfortable in their own space, I can stay with them in your home. I’ll keep them company, follow their routine, and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. 4. Doggie Day Care Perfect for busy days or when your pet needs some extra attention! Your pup will spend the day with me in a safe and stimulating environment, complete with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of fun activities. 5. Drop-In Visits Need someone to check in on your pet during the day? I’ll stop by to make sure they’re fed, let out for potty breaks, and given some love and attention while you’re away. No matter which service you choose, I’m here to treat your pet like family. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! Let’s create a care plan that works for you—reach out today! Questions I will ask before we book a service: Can we meet beforehand to see if we are a good fit? What’s your dog’s name, age, and breed? What’s their usual routine? (feeding, walks, playtime, bedtime) How is your dog’s temperament? (e.g., friendly, anxious, energetic, shy) Does your dog have any medical conditions or special needs? Are they up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention? What are their favorite activities or toys? Do they have any triggers or fears? (e.g., loud noises, other animals, strangers) How do they react to other dogs, pets, or people? Are there specific commands or cues I should know? Does your dog have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Do they require medication? If yes, how and when should it be administered? What’s the best way to comfort them if they get anxious? Do they have any behavioral quirks I should be aware of? (e.g., chewing, barking) Who should I contact in case of an emergency? (vet info and alternate contact) Is there anything else I should know to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety? I have 9 Airbnbs and own real estate in TX but currently back in California while running my business from home. I can work from anywhere. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I usually wake up feed the pets, walk and play with the doggies then start my work during the day. I will let the dogs out during the day and then feed and walk in the evenings after I finish working. How I would care for your pets: 1. Feeding: Regular Feeding Schedule: Feed your dog at the same times each day to establish a routine. 2. Exercise: Daily Walks: Ensure your dog gets at least one to two walks per day, tailored to their energy levels. 3. Playtime: Engage in play with toys, fetch, or other activities to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. And anything else you would like me to do.

About: I have taken care of dogs on my own since I got my dog Mr. Buddy who is an Australian Shepard. I raised him from a puppy when I got him in Alaska when I was in the air force. I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession. I've learned a lot about dogs from great people like ceaser milon and the dog father, and many great people I've met along the way on my travels in the military. Your dogs will be well taken care of under my care. I have decided to do this as a full time gig. I want to be my own boss and work better with animals then I do people lol. I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.

Haley C.
“Haley was my go-to for my four legged kiddos for a couple years, until she had to move away. She has stayed at my house with no concerns on numerous occasions. My doggies (2 Border Collies) love her. She kept them entertained, she gave them the loves and attention they needed while I vacationed, I got pics when requested, she also does amazing on the animals that needs special care, like meds needed on schedule. Haley does amazing with the kitties also. Trust your four legged friends when they are around a person, you will see that your pawbestie will also fall in love with Haley, her personality, care and love she has to give them. I can honestly say, it really sucks to have her so far away, I haven't been able to replace her, the care she gives or the trust to stay in my home to take care of my furlegged family.”

“Brandi is very loving, kind and gentle with dogs and knows how to work with them very well. She is a great handler, a very sweet person and was an amazing coworker when we worked together. I'd recommend her to anyone to take care of their dogs professionally. If ever I need to go out of town, she would be my first choice for a babysitter for my doggie kids and should be a choice for anyone else, too.”


Kathy M.

“Kathy was great. Punctual and our dogs loved her. She was caring and sent pictures and updates without being asked . Will definitely use her again.”
