1. Leonard W.
“Leonard was awesome to work with on all levels! He took care of my dog both as an in home sitter for overnight stay and for day sitting. He was extremely easy to work with as he would flex his hours everyday according to my schedule. My dog absolutely loved him! He took her to the beach and hiking and was always with her at home. He even bought her a toy on his last day which he let her select (not surprising that the toy closely resembles a squirrel :). Leonard also has a very pleasant and approachable personality - I would highly recommend him to take care of your dog. I look forward to Leonard and my dog reuniting on another stay!”
2. Carla G.
“Carla was so helpful with my old dog Reggie! She responded so quickly and last minute as well. She communicated super well and was very great with Reggie. It was a huge relief knowing Reggie was in such good hands.”
3. Marisa G.
“Marisa took great care of Cody while we were away for a long holiday. She was communicative and responsive. Cody can get bored and itch himself and she let us know she'd keep an eye out for it. We felt at ease that Cody was in good hands!”
4. Jessica S.
“If you are looking for a pet caregiver who is loving, intuitive, patient and trustworthy, then Jessica is your person. It is as if Jessica is a mind-reader and pet-whisperer. It was quickly apparent to us that Jessica had experience with pets, especially dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, based on the questions asked. Our dog means the world to us and we have peace of mind knowing that he is having a great time and being lovingly looked after when he is with Jessica whether they are on a walk, at the park or just hanging at our house when we are out of town.”

About: Experienced in dog caretaking and confident in their abilities working with dogs. Raised with dogs in their family home and continued spending time with dogs as they grew up. In 2024, lived with 25+ dogs at a dog shelter in Central America. Usually walked six dogs at a time as they walked all the dogs in the shelter daily. Have experience hiking with dogs as well. During their time living at the dog shelter, would constantly wash dogs, clean up after them, give them medications, feed them, and attend to any other needs that they had. Also have some knowledge over basic leash training. Friendly, energetic, and excited to meet your dogs! 🦮🐕🦺 🐩 🐕 🐾 💕 Hoping to go full-time into pet-care, so have a lot of availability. Would like this to be my main source of income as I continue to advance professional development. When volunteered with 25+ dogs at a dog shelter in Central America for a semester, the owners developed enough rapport with me to leave me in charge when they traveled. I was able to attend to each individual dogs’ needs, giving medication to certain dogs and giving specialized care to others. I have also been in charge of taking care of our family pets growing up.
6. James M.
“Taylor is incredible working with dogs and has a lovely, well trained, young English Pointer of his own. Taylor is thoughtful and patient. He is eager to get outside with the dogs on trail runs and nature hikes. Most importantly, Taylor cares holistically about the dogs, including 1) getting them out into nature to run and explore, 2) socializing the dogs with other dogs, people and children, 3) personally connecting with dogs through touch and play, and 3) the health of dogs with what they eat and getting good sleep. I wouldn’t trust anyone else as much as I do Taylor to provide the best care for my dog. He treats them as his own and it shows. -Samuel”
7. Megan M.
“Megan was very professional and on time, gave updates on how my dog was doing, and was able to meet his needs! He is a reactive shepherd mix and Megan is experienced with rescue dogs, and the sensitive, reactive pups so she gets him and knows how to support him out in the world. Would definitely book again. Thank you!”
8. Zeta m.
“Zeta been a really great friend of mine since high-school, who has pet sat for my family plenty of times. He's always done a fantastic job because he truly loves and cares for animals. He's surprisingly good at quickly bonding with pets and is great about updates/checking in (sending cute pictures). Pearl and the rest of my family love him!”
9. Vivianna M.
“I left my kitten with Vivianna for a week, and I wouldn’t think twice about having her cat sit for me again! She took great care of my kitty and I came back to him just as happy as I left him! Thanks again Viv.”

12. Guy L.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends since I was 16, and my passion for animals has only grown over the years. With experience handling a variety of pets, including both cats and dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. My love for animals drives me to provide the best possible care, and I’m excited to turn this passion into a professional pursuit. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your furry family members and ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I am currently waiting to head to Officer Candidacy School for the U.S. Navy, I just graduated from Cal Poly Slo with a degree in Finance. During the week I am only working out and studying and am free for pet care almost 24/7. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every dog. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring their routine is maintained and their well-being is my top priority. In my home, I provide a secure, dog-friendly space where they can play, rest, and feel at ease. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their familiar environment, offering consistency and comfort. I’m dedicated to building trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring a safe and happy experience for everyone involved.

“Absolutely thrilled with the care provided by Jenny. Our furry friend always comes back happy and well-exercised. Dependable, friendly, and truly passionate about dogs. Highly recommend!”
14. Hailey G.
“Hailey did an amazing job taking care of our energetic young dog while we were away. It's comforting to find someone who cares as much as we do, we'll definitely hire her again!”
15. Lydia P.
“Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!”
16. Amber L.
“Amber was wonderful. She was on time. Pip had a great walk and came back very happy and tired. I would use her again. 🐾”
17. Kevin M.
“Kevin was great with our two dogs! Left for our vacation without a worry...and remained that way. Kevin checked in with us and sent photos, which gave us great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Kevin...we will definitely hire Kevin again for future trips!”
18. Matthew R.
“My girlfriend and I have been using Matthew for a year now to take care of our 1 year old Boxers. The dogs always come home exhausted due to Matthew playing with them as if they were his own. I highly recommend him and look forward to continuing to use his services.”
19. Bryntly M.
“Bryntly is very loving with animals! She looked after my border colli, Chelsea when she boarded at the Fairfax vet. Her experience with dogs makes her a great choice !”
20. Nicole M.
“Arrived on time, friendly, made sure to ask if I had any special instructions or preferences, and handled my dog's stranger anxiety very well. 10/10”
