Kathryn is a gem! She is amazing with our goldendoodle (who absolutely adores her!) and takes such good care of our home, leaving it cleaner than when we left it!

Lux is great! She was on time, took notes, was organized and diligent, and took good care of my 2 dogs. I highly recommend her and would hire her again. She is also studying to become a vet which is an added plus.

We have hired Joanna twice now for our geriatric, three-legged dog. She is great and sends pics throughout the stay. Our dog needs to use a cart for his daily walk and meds twice a day and Joanna had no trouble with handling that. Highly recommend!

Ryane and Dave did a fantastic job housesitting and caring for my two chihuahuas. I was impressed at how comfortable they were with an opinionated chihuahua who needed several different medications throughout the day and they even got my little guy to do his daily physical therapy. These are not the easiest dogs to care for but Ryane and Dave built a relationship with them quickly and made sure they received the meds and care they needed. Communication while I am traveling is fantastic; I get frequent updates and some pretty great photos of my fur kids enjoying life. On top of that, I returned to a house that was exactly how I left it (nice and clean). Leaving my fur kids at home is never easy but knowing Ryane and Dave are in charge allows me to relax so I will absolutely use them again. Ryane and Dave have a lot of animal experience outside of dogs so they are also a great match for anyone with exotic pets, farm animals, reptiles or birds.

Emory was such a pleasure to work with. She came to meet our pup ahead of her care days which I really appreciated. Our pup was beautifully cared for and our home was in perfect condition when I returned. She was also a good communicator, sending pics and updates. I would highly recommend Emory to care for your pet.

Susan is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. Our bernedoodle, Benny, adores her. He even snuggled with her all night. She took lots of photos and took great care of our house. She is very communicative, kind, responsible, and had a great immediate connection with Benny. She is the best dog sitter we have had.

Rose made my work trip stress free. I never worried about my two dogs in her care. She even managed them in a rain storm when dogs prefer to never go outside. One dogs is elderly and needs patience and the other a foster and needs a firm hand. I came home to happy pups and a well tended home. I highly recommend Rose to anyone looking for home and dog care. She's amazing.

Mari won the heart of our dog and us! For the first time ever, I felt zero stress when going away for a trip. It felt like our dog was with a family member because of the love that exudes from Mari. So many photos, videos, dog cuddles, long walks, clear communication, and love. Plus the house was so clean on our return. Mari is the best of the best.

We have a spirited dog named Chase who is quite a handful behaviorally. Ok, he’s a challenge! Maggie watches him for us when we travel, and also for occasional dog walks. When Maggie is with Chase he is an angelic dog! She is very kind, a gentle trainer and a good friend to my dog. It is without any hesitation that I recommend Maggie to provide the very best care for your beloved pet!

Katrina has cared for my small mix breed dog for month long sits and short multi day sits. She is very conscientious and caring, always communicating clearly. She knows lots of trails and streets in the Marinwood/Lucas Valley Area. She does well with my older dog as well our neighbor’s lively, younger retriever. She follows feeding and treat instructions very well, even with lots of little peculiarities he has, and I always come back to a very healthy, happy dog!

Pat stayed with our 2 kitties for a long weekend and we could not have been happier with her service. We have a huge book of instructions both for our cats (with rather complicated feedings, meds and various foods etc...), and for the house itself. She was glad to have the guidebook and managed to have a very relaxing time. The cats warmed up to her more than any other sitter we've had in the recent past. When we returned home the house was just as we left it and our kitties were totally relaxed. We will definitely be looking to hire her again!

I was going on a trip for three weeks and I didn’t want to kennel my dog Lucy that long. I needed someone who could both stay at my home, as well as watch Lucy. First, let me tell you a little bit about Lucy. If she’s comfortable around you she’s a lover, if not, she becomes very withdrawn, anxious and nervous. It take a certain type of person for Lucy to settle in with. You either have it or you don’t. Finding the right person would be no easy feat! I hit the jackpot with Natalie! From their first meeting it was on, Lucy loved Natalie from the get go. She has a lovely way about her and Lucy felt it right away. Throughout my trip Natalie sent pictures of their many walks, adventures, dog-dates and down time. Natalie was also very response when I checked in via text. From the pics and videos I could tell that Lucy wasn’t missing me at all - that’s a good thing! When I returned home Lucy was happy and healthy, and I could tell she and Natalie had formed a real bond - again this is a good thing! Natalie also took wonderful care of my home. All of my plants, and there are many both inside and outside, were alive and well. All the mail sorted and organized. The house looked better than when I left it! My experience with Natalie was a true pleasure from start to finish! I would strongly recommend her seven days a week, 365 days a year! She’s that good on every level.

Abby watched my German shepherd Mocha and house sitted our home for 3 weeks. Mocha is a large, high energy dog who needs a lot of exercise. Abby was very skilled in handling Mocha’s needs and very respectful of our house. Will book Abby whenever we need someone to watch Mocha again.
